For now, they will have to live and die by him, just as they do with James and Davis, just as they did on Tuesday night in a 122-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Reaves was everything from reckless to breathtaking against the team with the best record in the NBA, committing three turnovers in the first six minutes but finishing with 35 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. His point total equaled his career high. Coach JJ Redick said he spoke to Reaves about “the patience to just make simple plays.” Then again, Redick added, “There’s a nature to his game that you have to be willing to live with some of his stuff because of the way he attacks and the change of pace and the quick decisions and the quick bursts. There’s gonna be some of that and you have to live with that. It’s sort of the unforced stuff [where he] will grow.”
