Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes discuss the Golden State Warriors 130-129 loss to the Orlando Magic. Nick weighs in on the Warriors current four-game losing streak and explores possible reasons that have led to their 6 losses this season. The group then discuss whether the Los Angeles Lakers have solved their issues with Russell Westbrook. Since coming off the bench Westbrook and the Lakers are 2-1. Nick explains Westbrook’s success in the last three games is great for his trade value later in the season.

He’s defending better than Rudy Gobert, Pat Bev, Alex Caruso, and even Shai-Alexander. I just feel like that’s amazing for a guy in their 20th season that’s averaging 25/10/7.
