Ten minutes in the Thunder's home debut, Russell Westbrook was holding his shorts as the Thunder and Kings broke up and down the floor at a breakneck pace.
Westbrook was spent. The Thunder has looked spent with and without him in an 0-3 start.
In his first game of the season after arthroscopic knee surgery on his right knee on Sept. 12, Westbrook logged 32 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, but the Thunder lost 131-120 to Sacramento.
The Thunder, however, has much bigger issues than Westbrook's conditioning, understandably not 100 percent after missing all of preseason and the first two games of the regular season.
