Reaves bounces back with strong showing vs. Italy

Austin Reaves bounced back from his worst game for Team USA by contributing 12 points, four rebounds, and three assists as they defeated Italy 100-63 in the Fiba World Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Reaves had fouled out in a loss to Lithuania where he struggled defensively against larger guards.

Despite being targeted and taunted by Vaidas Kariniauskas of Lithuania, Reaves maintained his confidence and improved his performance for the Italy game.
