As always with Russell Westbrook, you should expect the unexpected.
After giving up a great game in the Lakers 'win over San Antonio and seeming to find himself in his new team, tonight (Thursday) he recorded 10 losses in the Lakers' 123: 115 loss to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder came into the game at a 4-0 balance, but managed to beat the rival from Los Angeles who came again without the injured LeBron James.
Westbrook, who finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists, also missed three threes in the final 30 seconds that could have led to a draw.
"It's my fault, this loss is on me," said Westbrook at the end, who in addition to the loss and loss balance was also sent off at the end, after confronting OKC player Darius Beasley, who went on to sink in the final seconds when the game was over, instead of just passing the seconds until the final whistle.
"I play Old School," Westbrook explained of his confrontation with Beasley, "and when shit like that happens, I don't let it go. It's basketball, and there are things you do not do, especially when the game is over. And I did not like it."

"It was a disaster game for the Lakers," ESPN wrote of the loss, after Westbrook and his teammates lost a 26-point lead they had at halftime.
"It's a disappointing loss, but a lesson to be learned from it," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said, "The NBA season is long, and our players have once again learned that you can never get your foot off the gas."
Admittedly this is just the start of the season, and the Lakers are just starting to connect with a squad that includes 12 new players, and while they had to make do tonight without LeBron James, Sheleon Horton Tucker, Kendrick Nan, Trevor Packing and Wayne Ellington - but even Anthony Davis knows this is no excuse .
"There's no such thing as a period of adjustments," said Davis, who finished with 30 points and eight rebounds. No, there is no such thing. "

The Lakers have conceded 115 points or more in all five games this season - the longest streak in the club's history - and Russell Westbrook has recorded double figures in losses, having already recorded 9 losses against Memphis this season.
"I have to keep the ball," the guard admitted, "it's my fault, it's on me. But I'm going to take care of it. I know it. Keep the game simple. Because we need those passers-by, especially in games like that."
