Watch: Austin Reaves makes showtime pass to LeBron James for the dunk

The Los Angeles Lakers had been off since defeating the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, but they returned to work on Tuesday versus the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons have the NBA’s worst record, but they had won four of their last nine games and were competitive against L.A. in the opening minutes.

However, that’s when the Purple and Gold turned it on. The team went on a heater to take a double-digit lead, and it produced some highlight reel-worthy plays.

After a blocked shot by D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves came down on a fast break and delivered a behind-the-back pass to LeBron James for the dunk.

Reaves’ shooting has been up and down this season, but he dished at least 10 assists in two of his last three games, and he is averaging 5.4 assists a game on the season.
