It has been a tough season, especially for Westbrook, who has been on the radar of fans due to his performances. Through each game, he was trolled for his decision-making and ball handling. However, it is too early to make any predictions regarding the Laker’s standing this season, especially after their recent wins and the type of performance they displayed.
