In his second game of the season, Russell Westbrook continued his slow start, shooting 0-for-11 from the field and only scoring two points on free throws. It was the continuation of an awkward situation for a player who is publicly frustrated with his role on the team.

“Flush it down the toilet, get ready for Sunday,” he said. “We’ve all had bad shooting nights, I’ve had bad shooting nights, everybody in this league has had bad shooting nights.
