Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves scored 43 points to lead his team to a decisive victory over the Detroit Pistons on November 8, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
The win came with star guard Luka Doncic sidelined, placing the offensive burden on Reaves, who delivered a standout performance. Reaves was active throughout the game, including a notable second-half sequence where he passed from under the basket to create scoring opportunities.
The Lakers' strong showing in Doncic's absence highlights the depth of the roster as they continue their season campaign.
