LeBron James admitted the Los Angeles Lakers loss to the Philadelphia 76ers was ‘frustrating’ as Russell Westbrook spoiled a fine individual performance with a late-game error.
On Monday, the Lakers fell at home 113-112 to the 76ers in an agonising defeat. Many fans were somewhat confused by Westbrook’s play on the final possession as he failed to even get a shot off.
Following a miss by Joel Embiid, Westbrook - who finished with a 20-point, 14-rebound, 11-assist triple-double - dribbled the ball up the court as the superstar center guarded him with over 13 seconds remaining. The former MVP nearly lost the ball on a drive before circling back and driving again to the rim before getting blocked by Georges Niang as time expired.
