Through their first few games, the Washington Wizards have gotten the full Russell Westbrook experience. There’s the frantic, sometimes chaotic pace at which the 32-year-old play. There’s the way he fills up the stat sheet, with Westbrook becoming the first player to record back-to-back triple-doubles to open a season since Magic Johnson in 1982.
Perhaps most of all, they’ve seen the fierce competitor who absolutely hates to lose.
“This one is on me — [expletive] around, missing those shots,” Westbrook said Saturday after a 130-120 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Westbrook’s intensity has been on full display to start the NBA season, his first as a Wizard.
