Russell Westbrook leaves court after losing series, no handshakes

Russell Westbrook exit

Russell Westbrook was not in the mood for postgame handshakes after his Oklahoma City Thunder lost Game 5 of their playoff series in Houston on Tuesday night.

The Thunder’s season came to an end with their 105-99 defeat to the Rockets in Game 5 of their series. TNT, which televised the game, showed Westbrook marching straight into the tunnel and off the court immediately following the defeat:

In contrast, some of his teammates like Steven Adams and Nick Collison were shown sticking around on the floor at Toyota Center, giving congratulations to the team that defeated them.

Given how competitive Westbrook is, it’s no surprise he wasn’t about to pass some warm congratulations on to his opponents. It’s that attitude that makes him so well liked by even the NBA’s hard-to-please retirees.

Don’t expect the Brodie to apologize for his lack of sportsmanship, either, as he has a very “you’re either with me or against me” personality.
