Despite missing Anthony Davis and a whole bunch of other players, the Los Angeles Lakers came close to defeating the Chicago Bulls. In the end, DeMar DeRozan led his team to victory.

Russell Westbrook, who had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in 38 minutes of play, talked about the loss. “A lot of positives you can take from it,” he said postgame. “Just in my experience you try to find ways to be able to not let this deter you.

“Sometimes you can play well and still lose games. So you can just try keep your head up and get ready for Tuesday.”
