SAN ANTONIO —
Two games into Russell Westbrook’s role change, the longtime Clippers starting point guard-turned-reserve said that although he was “actually not sure” if his job description has changed, his intent when he is on the floor has not.
“Just going out and doing whatever’s best for our team to be able to win games,” Westbrook said after the Clippers’ 124-99 win over San Antonio to improve to 5-7. “And that’s it.”
In his debut off the bench Friday, Westbrook played 17 minutes, his fewest since January, in a win that stopped the Clippers’ six-game losing streak since acquiring James Harden from Philadelphia.
