Russell Westbrook hits game tying 3 pointer after Drake trash talks him
When Russell Westbrook was traded to the Lakers, the move was celebrated. Since Russell Westbrook is a Los Angeles native, the move made sense. Finally, Russell Westbrook could be at home and play. Plus, adding Westbrook to a roster already including LeBron James and Anthony Davis makes an instant contender. After losing to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers overhauled their roster.
Entering this season, the Lakers expected to be contenders. In 2020, the Lakers’ record was 60-22, if rounded up. This is the NBA’s first 82 game season in three seasons. The Lakers find themselves on the outside looking in. Meanwhile, the Suns, Grizzlies, Warriors, Jazz, Mavericks, and Nuggets have led in the West. As if struggling wasn’t enough, the Lakers ended up going on an eleven game losing streak. That mark was the worst of LeBron James’ career.
For whatever reason, Russell Westbrook hasn’t had the best of seasons this year. Last night, Drake and the Toronto Raptors expected that to continue. Instead, Russell Westbrook had one of his best games of the season. Russell Westbrook hit the game-tying three pointer, after Drake trash talked him. That shot forced overtime, where the Lakers won.
