The Suns knocked off the Clippers 136–130 in Game 5 on Tuesday night to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals and end Los Angeles’s season.
After the game, Russell Westbrook, who led the Clippers in points, assists and rebounds for the series, was reflective about his time with the team after being traded from the Lakers midseason.
“Once I got traded. Immediately, to be honest. From that moment, mentally, I was in a better place,” Westbrook said when asked about the weight lifted off his shoulders after the trade.
