The Los Angeles Lakers vs the Golden State Warriors 2022-23 preseason game took place on October 10, 2022. The Lakers beat the Warriors by a close scoreline of 124-121, although LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Patrick Beverley missed out on the game. While the win was much needed for the team, it was a certain 24-year-old NBA player who fans are gushing over. Lakers guard Austin Reaves seemed to have decided to give Warriors star Stephen Curry a run for his money during the game.

Stephen Curry faces embarrassment going up against Austin Reaves
While Davis played as the center, head coach Darvin Ham placed Austin Reaves as the point guard. Stephen Curry might be one of the best active players at the moment, but even he seemed to have a hard time in the court. In a short clip from the game, fans saw Los Angeles Lakers player Davis making a pass to Reaves. As Steph attempted to defend Reaves, he skillfully dodged the Golden State Warriors superstar with ease. Fans could clearly see the Baby-Faced Assassin standing on the court looking a little lost as the Lakers player went on to make a successful shot.
