Russell Westbrook had another tough game this season. This time it was against the Bucks as he scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished 5 assists in 26 minutes of play.
The 33-year-old point guard struggled with his shot, making 3/11 field goals. He missed his only three-point attempt. In three out of four games this months Russ had 10 or less points, way below his usual numbers.
“He wasn’t that bad,” Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said about Westbrook after the game. “The group that was making the run, we just left them there in the fourth aside from bringing Bron back.
“Had a tough night the other night, tough night shooting he ball tonight but I thought he was competing. The lineups they change. He’s playing without AD one time on the road, without AD and Bron and then without Bron, got the ball a lot more it’s easier to get the rhythm. That’s typically how he’s played.
“But when all those three guys are out there at the same time, it’s different. There’s less touches and everybody’s sharing it. So maybe tougher to get into the rhythm. That’s one of the things we’re working through.”
This season Westbrook is averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists for Los Angeles.
