Summary
The Lakers got run off the floor by an energized Rockets team that took advantage of a combination of tired legs and low effort from a team that played a double overtime game just a couple days prior. Pete and Darius discuss the game and what went wrong, discuss the ongoing defensive struggles of the team's smaller lineups, and how the team needed more from their bench groups from an effort and energy standpoint. And then later, the guys express their concern for Tuesday's game vs. an explosive Hawks offense that will again test the Lakers perimeter defense.

| 0:47.2 | Lakers made a bit of a fake comeback in the fourth quarter. |

| 1:12.0 | I think he runs the floor about as well as anyone in the NBA. And there's a lot to be said |
