Summary
The Lakers loss to the Knicks followed a familiar formula where the team showed a real lack of urgency and an inability to muster the needed effort to compete and win during a key stretch of the game. Pete, Darius, and Mike discuss this trend, why it happens, and how the team ultimately worked their way out of that funk to go on the run that got them back into the game vs. the Knicks. Later, the guys discuss Russell Westbrook's recent stretch of strong play and how both he and his teammates are adjusting to each other.

| 0:41.2 | and Mike. And guys, last night's game against the Knicks, they fell 10-100, came out really flat. |
| 0:50.1 | Starts the game, 10-0. It's, I think, 21 to 7 at the first substitution. Dee, I've |

| 1:12.5 | been a fairly regular occurrence throughout this season. A lot of times that's been in the third |
| 1:17.3 | quarter. But in last night's game, it was in the first. Nothing's going to work if you don't |
