Westbrook has often been the culprit for the Lakers’ poor results in the recent past. He went 0-of-11 from the field and 0-of-6 from 3-point range, and his shot selection was questionable at times.
It begs the question of how long the Lakers will wait before seriously considering trading Westbrook.
