Austin Reaves opens up about second straight loss against Bulls

The LA Lakers took on the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, wherein they suffered a one-point 119-117 loss. It was the second straight time the Lakers lost to the Bulls. They previously tasted defeat last Saturday when Chicago dominated LA 146-115.

Austin Reaves took much of the blame for their loss on Thursday as he was expected to make a play for the Lakers in the final crucial seconds. Reaves was LA's main scoring option for the night as he put up 30 points. Unfortunately for them, the Lakers came up with a sloppy play, which gave the Bulls the opportunity to tie the game and eventually hit the game-winner.

“I wanted to get the ball go to the free throw line. I think the miscommunication might have been I was trying to hold (LeBron James) off instead of popping to the ball,” Reaves said about the play. "I take just as much responsibility as you know I’m sure he did."

LeBron James also opened up about what happened in the final seconds of Thursday's game. James then acknowledged Reaves' efforts as he tried to win the game for the Lakers.

"We put ourselves in position to win, gave up a lot of threes in the fourth quarter, still put ourselves in position to win," James said. “Horrible turnover by myself, miscommunication the play before that. (Austin Reaves) tried to save us. Tip your hats.”

The LA Lakers are set to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. Both teams are tied at 44-29. Whoever wins the game will claim fourth place in the Western Conference.
