I felt Russ was untradeable before this game.
He probably has heard some trade rumors.

I can't tell if he's playing this bad on purpose to further tank his trade "value" or this is really him.

I could say it's both ... Hearing things like trade rumors and playing for the team you always wanted to, would do damage control in your head a lot of people won't see that and you gonna go through rough stretches.

LA needs to defend the line like their lives depend on it. A lot of times, they just stood there, or gave their man too much space. Specifically, Westbrook, Ariza, and Monk all failed on that score, that I can recall.

The Knicks are shooting 45% from distance.

We're making another mini-run.
We have to bump it up on D here in the 3rd

Randle is trying to take over a little bit.
That could play into our advantage because it will throw the Knicks off their offensive rhythm.

Apparently, Monk single-handedly outscored the Knicks 18-13 in the third quarter. That also means the Lakers' team defense kicked it up two notches.

LeBron dominating. Noel looked like he injured his ankles on the James drive.

So we figured out that AD and LeBron play better with THT out there instead of Westbrook...
I wonder if Westbrook has figured that out yet... And I wonder if that's what they meant by "Westbrook needs to figure it out."

That he's a 6th man?

Also, if the Knicks were dumb enough to trade us Randle in Westbrook trade, we should not hesitate at all...

Davis 28 (double-double), James 29 (triple-double), Monk 29. Ariza played well once again, and hit some clutch shots. Westbrook sat out the entire overtime for Horton-Tucker, thank goodness.
