As it happens when the Lakers lose, this time Russell Westbrook had everyoneās eyes on him the entire game. And, surprisingly he didnāt disappoint this time.
ā(Heās the) Ultimate professional. Itās not about who starts the game, itās about who finishes. For him (Westbrook), being with the second unit (the Lakersā bench), it gives him a ton of space, obviously, because theyāre super small. Where he can be him. Obviously playing (with)LeBron (James) and AD (Anthony Davis), with guys, who have to have the ball, for teams to be successful.ā he said about the Russell Westbrook performance overall coming off the bench in the last couple of Lakersā games.
āCoach Ham and his coaching staff have done a great job of communicating everything. They communicated with Russ (Westbrok). It went like a fight, and Russ just wants to win. Since Iāve arrived here, he has been playing his ass off, he has been hooping. Last time he almost got a triple-double coming off the bench, thatās impressive.āBeverleyadded to the discussion.
