Austin Reaves: Lakers must 'lock in' vs. Thunder

Austin Reaves emphasized that despite the lack of homecourt advantage and the absence of Luka Doncic, the team remains focused. "You could say nobody thought we were going to get past Houston, but everybody in this building believed," he stated. "It’s the same mindset going into this."

The guard acknowledged the difficulty of guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander but stressed the importance of attention to detail. "We’ll have to lock in every single day... to continue to get better and pay attention to all the little details like they do," Reaves said. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center. forestarrow.help
