Russell Westbrook posts quadruple double (sort of), gets ejected in Lakers collapse

This year's Los Angeles Lakers team is full of adventures, and none more so than Russell Westbrook.

The historically prolific, questionably efficient point guard was at the center of an embarrassing Lakers collapse against his old team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Wednesday.

The game opened with an onslaught from the Lakers, who finished the first quarter leading 41-19 despite missing superstar LeBron James. Their lead topped out at 26 points late in the second quarter. Given that the Thunder entered the night 0-4 and are expected to again be one of the worst teams in the West, the game should have basically been over.
