Russell Westbrook hits 'big-time shot' to help Los Angeles Lakers snap 11-game road skid

Just seconds after badly missing a 3-pointer off the backboard, Russell Westbrook came up with a big steal before sinking a clutch 3 that forced overtime to help the Los Angeles Lakers snap an 11-game road losing streak in Toronto.

Westbrook's 3, which he hit after looking down and moving his foot off the 3-point line to make sure he shot a triple, came with nine-tenths of a second left in regulation before the Lakers outlasted the Raptors, 128-123, in overtime.

In what has been a frustrating first season in Los Angeles, one of Westbrook's biggest highlights as a Laker could not have come at a better time.
