Russell Westbrook made history during Game 2 of Oklahoma City’s playoff series with the Houston Rockets, but he was not happy about matters after the game. The team lost 115-111 as Westbrook had an offensively bad fourth quarter.
When asked about his 51-point triple double, which was the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA playoff history, Westbrook dropped an F-bomb.

This is one case where the stats don’t tell the whole story.
Westbrook was 17-for-43 and took an inexcusable 18 shots in the fourth quarter, making just four. He missed eight straight shots with under six minutes remaining. He let his team down in the fourth with his play and should be upset.
