    LeBron James’ double-digit scoring streak ends, but Lakers beat Raptors at buzzer
    TORONTO — Lakers coach JJ Redick made it clear that the onus wasn’t on Austin Reaves to score 50 points on Thursday night in light of Luka Doncic being away from the team because of personal reasons.
    But even if it might not be his singular responsibility to make up for Doncic’s absence, Reaves has shown throughout the season that he’ll raise his level of play to even higher levels when Doncic isn’t available.
