SALT LAKE CITY — It’s no secret, reigning MVP Russell Westbrook is struggling in the first-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star made history in the regular season as the first player to average a triple-double for back-to-back years, but isn’t having the same effect through the first three games of the round-one postseason series.
OKC trails Utah, 2-1, after Saturday night’s 115-102 loss at Vivint Arena.
Although Westbrook continues to average a triple double with 20.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists, he is doing it inefficiently while shooting 36.
