After a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on March 10, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves called himself out for his own poor shooting in the defeat, saying that he needs to "play better." Since that loss, Reaves has scored at least 28 points in four straight games—including two 30-point games in that span—while shooting 52.9% from the field.

The Los Angeles Lakers may be starting to get back into the swing of things after suffering four losses in a row. They defeated the Phoenix Suns on Sunday and the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, and their defense seems to be returning to form after two ugly performances late last week.
