Misses game-tying shot at buzzer Reaves recorded 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Reaves had the opportunity to answer Royce O'Neale's late three-pointer, but his final shot rattled off the rim.

Next to Doncic, Reaves looked like the most effective player on the floor during the loss as he took advantage of absences from Dillon Brooks (hand) and Devin Booker (hip)
