While the Lakers dropped their fourth game in NBA preseason action Wednesday in a 118–113 loss to the Timberwolves, a great deal of attention was centered around veteran point guard Russell Westbrook and the chemistry being built between him and his teammates.
Several videos of Westbrook surfaced social media that showed the Lakers’ star not standing next to his teammates in a pregame huddle before the start of the game as well as appearing to ignore Lakers newcomer Patrick Beverley when he called for a huddle on a defensive possession in the third quarter.
