Russell Westbrook had a poor shooting night in the Lakers’ loss against the Clippers (103-97). The former NBA MVP could score from the game, going 0/11. He finished the game with just 2 points.

His teammate LeBron James was asked about Russ’ shooting woes afterwards. According to him, there is no reason to think too much about nights like this.

“Just flush it down the toilet and get ready for Sunday,” James said when asked about what advice he could give to Westbrook. “He’s a veteran. We’ve all had bad shooting nights, I’ve had bad shooting nights, everybody in this league has had bad shooting nights. Who cares.

“I thought he played a great game. Defensively he was in tune, he was locked in, he pushed the tempo. He just didn’t make any shots. That’s okay. He had 5 steals, 2 back-to-back in a critical time when they were trying to post him against Kawhi. He just didn’t make any shots and that’s fine. So, just flush it down the toilet and get ready for Sunday.”
