Grayson Allen’s soul may have taken over Russell Westbrook’s body Sunday.
As he was on the deck in a failed pursuit of a loose ball in Oklahoma City’s 107-91 loss to Cleveland, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook appeared to stick his leg out and attempt to trip Cavs swingman Iman Shumpert.
Westbrook’s frustration may have boiled over in a contest that saw the Thunder take a 13-point deficit into the half and never get back within striking distance. But that still doesn’t excuse such a careless lapse in judgment, one that, as Allen has proven, is dangerous and has no place in the sport.
