“I think the meeting was just still trying to build that chemistry amongst the three of us to help the team be successful,” Reaves said. “Tonight, it just showed that when we play the right way and trust one another, especially offensively, we can have open looks on almost every possession. … It was really just a conversation about how bad all of us want to win and win at a high level.” Los Angeles shot 50.6% and 44.2% on 3-pointers, hitting 19-for-43 from the outside. Seven of those 3s came from reserves Gabe Vincent (4-of-6) and Dorian Finney-Smith (3-of-7). “The ball was flying around because of the advantages and [James, Doncic and Reaves] getting into the paint,” Finney-Smith said. “Me, Gabe, Rui [Hachimura], [Jarred Vanderbilt], just recipients of them playing well.” -via ESPN / March 30, 2025
