After shooting just 3-for-16 and coughing up a team-high four turnovers as the Lakers dropped Game 1 to the Thunder, Austin Reaves wasn't about to blame his long injury layoff: "I mean, nobody cares about that. I got to go out there and play better."
Los Angeles Lakers (53-29, fourth in the Western Conference) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (64-18, first in the Western Conference)
Cleveland Cavaliers (52-30, fourth in the Eastern Conference) vs. Detroit Pistons (60-22, first in the Eastern Conference)
