What stood out most vividly was Monk’s aggressiveness and fearlessness in stepping up in his own way as the Lakers (7-5) won their second straight overtime game and improved to 2-0 on their five-game homestand. “Just being Malik. Be the microwave,” Westbrook said of what he saw in Monk’s performance. “When he comes in the game his job is to put the ball in the hoop, and he does that at a high level. He’s been doing it since he’s been in the league and tonight was one of those nights where he’s making plays, making big shots and timely shots for us.”
