Russell Westbrook Ejected After Taking Issue With Darius Bazley’s Dunk to Cap Epic Collapse

Russell Westbrook played the role of fun police after the Lakers’ worst loss of the young season.

Los Angeles lost 123–115 to the lowly Thunder in Oklahoma City on Wednesday after a staggering collapse. The Lakers (playing without the injured LeBron James) got out to a hot start and led by 26 points with 6:44 left in the second quarter, but then they folded and blew a lead of at least 25 points for the first time in the past 25 years.

To make matters worse, OKC didn’t need a late shot to complete the comeback.
