LeBron James was back in the lineup. Russell Westbrook had his best game in weeks. Malik Monk, Austin Reaves, and DJ Augustin (!!!) all made big contributions.

So why have they lost belief? Is it reasonable? What about heart? What defines "heart" for a team like the Lakers? How/why are they falling short?There are a lot of things to dislike about this group.
