Russell Westbrook decries fan harassment of family, 'Westbrick' after Lakers loss

Lakers guard Russell Westbrook said he doesn't want family members, even his young children, to attend Lakers games because of the things they might hear.

The admission came Monday night after the Lakers lost 117-110 to the Spurs in San Antonio. Earlier in the day, his wife Nina sent a series of tweets detailing her anger with threats and harassment. And in the third quarter with the Spurs, Westbrook had an interaction with a fan where he shouted "don't disrespect my name."

It's the latest issue in a season full of them for the Lakers, who again were forced to play without LeBron James because of knee soreness, helping cost the Lakers their shot at consecutive wins for the first time since Jan. 7.
