LOS ANGELES -- Russell Westbrook bounced back from nine turnovers Sunday by committing zero turnovers in the Los Angeles Lakers' 122-114 win over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, the first time the point guard protected the ball that well in nearly six years.
Westbrook snapped a personal streak of 407 straight games with a turnover, dating back to March 14, 2016, when he played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Lakers followed suit when it came to ball security. L.A. had a season-low five turnovers as a team against Sacramento, the fewest the franchise has had in a game since 2014, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information.
