Summary
The Lakers lost a gut punch game against the Blazers on Sunday night, proving unable to hold on late as their offensive struggles continued and a couple of key defensive possessions didn't go their way. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the game, focusing on Russell Westbrook's questionable shot selection in the final minute, how the Blazers' defensive strategy down the stretch flustered the Lakers offense, and how Anthony Davis' 5th foul impacted the Lakers late game defense. Then later, the guys discuss Troy Brown's season debut and how his presence in lineups as another capable wing helped the Lakers on both ends.

| 0:45.0 | Lakers were shooting 22% from three-point range and that was the lowest in NBA history through |
| 0:50.6 | two games you know minimum of 60 attempts. And their percentage went down |
| 0:55.1 | after the third game. But Lakers showed a great deal of resilience. They turned the Blazers |
| 1:00.1 | over 19 times. Anthony Davis was a monster on the defensive end. I thought the team just in |
