After an impressive shorthanded win on the road over the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Lakers returned home and hosted the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Given it was their first back-to-back of the season, the Lakers were severely shorthanded with Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Marcus Smart, Gabe Vincent and others out due to injury. That was too much to overcome as they hung with the Trail Blazers for a while before ultimately losing, 122-108.
After dropped a career-high 51 points on Sunday night, Austin Reaves picked up where he left off with the first bucket in this one.
