SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Last season, every missed Russell Westbrook shot in Sacramento was met with the chorus of Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" playing over the Golden 1 Center's speakers.
The Lakers were met Friday with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" during introductions, and somehow the track was too upbeat for what would unfold over the next 48 minutes.
Coach Darvin Ham cashed in some of the credibility he built with Russell Westbrook, convincing the former MVP to come off the bench, only to see him injure his hamstring five minutes into his first stint as a reserve.
