Lakers' Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves Roast Each Other

Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves keep their bond light and loud. Dončić said "it's a lot of trash-talking, lot of fun, lot of jokes" and Reaves called it "Chaotic." Since Luka arrived last February the pair have clicked on and off the court. Dončić is putting up 34.1 points 8.8 assists and 8.6 rebounds, Reaves is at 27.3 points 6.5 assists and 5.4 rebounds, and the Lakers are 19-9 heading into Christmas against Houston. Merlin sees the ribbing as team glue. Chemistry like this lets star play breathe and role players thrive under pressure. With LeBron anchoring the floor and Dončić playing MVP level basketball, Reaves gives the Lakers an added spark. The Christmas game will show if their jokes turn into consistent wins.
