Russell Westbrook sparks rally in second half, but Los Angeles Lakers fall short

NEW YORK -- Russell Westbrook was tremendous in the second half of the Los Angeles Lakers' 106-100 loss to the New York Knicks, scoring 25 of his game-high 31 points after the break to help get his team back into a game in which it trailed by as many as 25 points in the first half.

The thing is, L.A. had to claw back from that deficit in part because of Westbrook's first-half play. He had six points on 1-for-5 shooting and five turnovers before the break.

"He just clicks," Anthony Davis said of Westbrook's midgame adjustments.
