Russell Westbrook on Thunder's 4-game skid: 'I love adversity'

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A fourth straight loss, the latest to the Los Angeles Lakers without Lonzo Ball 108-104 on Sunday, has sent the Oklahoma City Thunder spiraling back to some uncertainty, though Russell Westbrook said he embraces the struggle.

"It's fun, man. Adversity is great," Westbrook said. "Me personally, I love adversity. It gives you an opportunity to bring your teammates together, bring everybody together and look forward to positive things. Throughout the season, there's going to be a lot of ups and downs, but we never flinch. That's one thing about this organization, about our team: We never flinch based on what's going on.
