Russell Westbrook’s tricky triple double at Christmas
Russell Westbrook closed the Christmas game against the Brooklyn Nets with a triple-double of 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, however, the Los Angeles Lakers point guard was in debt after going 20-4 in shooting from the court and not being decisive in important moments of the game.
The Lakers fell 122-115 to the Nets, Westbrook being one of those singled out after suffering 3 turnovers and failing his three attempted 3-pointers.
The Lakers should explore every possibility to trade Russell Westbrook. Russ will never win a championship with this aloof defense. Not to mention his reckless shot selection. And it’s been happening his whole career, even in big moments of playoff games. Russ will never change. https://t.co/fxQLhPwr1X

On a night when LeBron James became the only player ever to make the top 100 of the league’s major categories, Westbrook remained in the eye of criticism, despite his triple-double.
