OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook said, “It’s my fault, it’s on me,” when asked about his double-digit turnovers in the Lakers’ 123-115 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.
“How I play the game, I’m more old-school,” Westbrook said, explaining why he took issue with the Thunder’s Darius Bazley for scoring on a breakaway dunk with 1.5 seconds remaining, rather than dribbling out the clock.
“This ain’t no adjustment period at all,” said Davis, whose 30 points and eight rebounds went for naught.
“I got to take care of the ball,” Westbrook said, taking the blame.
Since 1985, Westbrook has the most quadruple-doubles in the NBA with six, according to Statmuse.
got one more bite at the apple when Carmelo Anthony stole rookie Josh Giddey’s inbounds pass that was intended for Kenrich Williams, who slipped to the floor.
“It came right to me, man,” said Anthony who scored 13 points off the bench.
“It’s not fun in the moment when you lose a game like that,” Vogel said.
