EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After having had a day off to digest his team's season-opening loss to the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Russell Westbrook's debut wasn't nearly as dreadful as it seemed.
"[Westbrook played] pretty good," Vogel said after practice Thursday when asked how the Lakers' major offseason acquisition looked in his review of the game film. "We didn't get him involved enough, and that's on me. We continue to look at situations to make him useful and not pull away from what [Anthony Davis] and [LeBron James] are doing.
