It is normal for NBA teams to relax or seemingly take nights off during the 82-game regular season as it is a grind and commands a certain level of focus and energy.
For a veteran-laden team like the Los Angeles Lakers, the players understand this and are able to not get too high or too low during stretches in the season.
Their most recent loss to the Memphis Grizzlies is a prime example of this as they were thoroughly outplayed on both ends of the floor for the entire night, struggling to keep pace with their speed and athleticism.
