Russell Westbrook crashed headlines with another historical outing as OKC Thunder drowned the Lakers. Unless you’re living under a rock or forgot to pay your electric bill this month, you already know about the sensational night in the ‘Peake.
It started out with an unusual first quarter. Westbrook had no points in the first twelve minutes of gameplay, BUT had climbed to double-digit assists. It was clear Russ was making a statement and that statement was solidified within the last 60 seconds of the game.
Just two rebounds shy of breaking yet another NBA record, Westbrook waved off his substitution and locked in for the final seconds.
