Averaging 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game, the Slovenian scored below 30-points on Sunday and had an off scoring night. Doncic was shooting just 9-of-22 from the field and 1-of-11 from the three-point range. On the other hand, Reaves was shooting 9-of-22 from the field and 4-of-14 from beyond the arc. Despite this, both managed to post 55 combined points and pushed the Lakers&rsquo; offense. In addition, the growing chemistry between Doncic and Reaves has allowed the Lakers to maintain consistency, building pressure on their rivals, including the Heat.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jake LaRavia&rsquo;s Key Contributions Power Lakers&nbsp;<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lakers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Lakers<\/a> duo brought the scoring punch for LA in their victory over Miami tonight!<br><br>Austin Reaves: 26 PTS, 11 AST<br>Jake LaRavia: 25 PTS, 4 STL, 10-13 FGM <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fHSgFZi5TW\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/fHSgFZi5TW<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1985223003123142899?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol><p>Apart from a key contribution from the starters, Lakers&rsquo; bench player Jake LaRavia put up 25 points, along with eight rebounds and three assists.

Not only this, but in the last three games, he has averaged 21.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game, while shooting 78.1% from the field and 66.7% from the three-point range.

However, even without him, they have been faring well in the season, posting a record of 5-2 early in the season. On Sunday, after a high-scoring first half, the Lakers stepped in with a better defensive approach. By the end of the game, they had limited the Heat to 27.3% from the three-point range and 69.4% from the free-throw line, while forcing 15 turnovers. In fact, Bronny James, who ended up scoring only two points, has had a great impact on the team with two assists and three steals. He also had a great defensive night, and provided the team with a much-needed boost off the bench.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
