Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle after their 109-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, said he never really thought the game got away from them, but they had a tough time stringing stops together.

Randle said they didn’t have trouble scoring the ball, but have to start games better from the defensive end. He thought they did a good job of forcing the Mavericks into what the Lakers, but Dallas just made tough shots.

Randle: "We gave ourselves a chance to win, but I don’t think we had the killer instinct today. We had a chance to really bust the game open in the beginning but we were too soft defensively."
