Ejected:
Russell Westbrook played the role of fun police after the Lakers’ worst loss of the young season.
Los Angeles lost 123–115 to the lowly Thunder in Oklahoma City on Wednesday after a staggering collapse. The Lakers (playing without the injured LeBron James) got out to a hot start and led by 26 points with 6:44 left in the second quarter, but then they folded and blew a lead of at least 25 points for the first time in the past 25 years.
To make matters worse, OKC didn’t need a late shot to complete the comeback. In fact, the Lakers were playing from behind for the entire fourth quarter.
Election results:
As the full ballot was released, Russell Westbrook appeared to get a small bit of recognition for his play this season. He received one third-place vote, which resulted in an 11th place finish ahead of players like LeBron James and James Harden.
News Lakers:
Westbrook’s early adjustment period has led to mixed results on that end of the floor. However, as with the team as a whole on Sunday, Westbrook took a step forward in that regard against the Rockets.
Westbrook detailed some of those adjustments and how he’s handling them following practice on Monday.
