WATCH: Jalen Green Stares Down Lakers’ Russell Westbrook as He Finishes an Emphatic Alley Oop Dunk

The Los Angeles Lakers have been in some trouble recently. With five losses in a row, it has been a cause of big concern. Now, in hopes to get back, they face the Houston Rockets. This serves as a great chance for the Lake show to get back to winning ways. However, Jalen Green has other plans as he shows Russell Westbrook his bounce.

The Lakers are in a tough spot. With many of their players out, they have had to endure in their last couple of games. LeBron James has done it all to try to keep them over the water. However, with the other team members failing to produce, the purple and gold have struggled.

Now taking on the Rockets, a young rookie Jalen Green took the challenge against Russell Westbrook and came out on top.

Taking on a fast break, the Lakers defense tried to settle in. While Kevin Porter Jr. was bringing the ball up, he saw Green trailing at the rim. In a flash, he threw the ball only where the rookie could catch it. However, when Westbrook tried to catch it, Green came out on top. He threw down an emphatic dunk and gave Russ a stare after.
