NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers winning their first game of the season

After five consecutive losses, the Los Angeles Lakers won their first game of the season, 110-121, against the Denver Nuggets.

The truth is, the real Lakers catalyst tonight is the undrafted kid out of Oklahoma … Austin Reaves. Yes, it has come to this.

The first game that Russ is ACTUALLY allowed to play point guard, the Lakers end up WINNING. Imagine that.

The 18/8/8 Russ had tonight was not the 18/8/8 he averaged last season. Please WATCH THE GAMES! Russ was GREAT tonight!
