0:15.9	Hello, Lakers Nation.
0:17.7	Welcome to the Lakers Nation.com live podcast. I am Trevor Lane and Team USA just got the win over Spain. It was a very close game. In fact, the U.S. lost the lead a number of times. They were down heading out of the first quarter. Spain actually came back and took the lead in the third quarter as well,
0:38.7	but the U.S. ultimately surges ahead. Part of it, big thanks to Austin Reeves, Lakers Guard,
0:44.9	who right when the U.S. needed it most, where it looked like Spain was going to surge ahead
0:49.2	and carry some momentum, maybe through the rest of the game. Austin Reeves made big play after big play after big play.
0:57.2	Passing, finding guys open, hitting shots, getting defensive stops.
1:01.6	Austin Reeves had a critical stretch for Team USA to help get the win.
1:05.6	Finish with, I believe, 11 points.

1:36.4	But again, the U.S. was able to fight back and ultimately get the job done.
1:40.8	So we're going to break down this game a little bit, talk about what happened in this
1:44.7	one. We'll talk about where things go from here for Team USA. Plus, Austin Reeves, what are we
1:50.2	seeing out of him? Of course, what does all this mean for the Lakers? That's all important as
1:55.7	well. All right. So Austin, starting there. Oh, question coming in and said, are these just exhibition games or do they actually count towards something?
