The hustle during the loose ball is what we need from him.

Terrible free throws but darn he played well otherwise. Flawless almost.

That dive to get the 50/50 ball that ended up going to Bron will not show up in the box score whatsoever but that was what won the game.

The dive was crucial

Best Russ performance of the year so far IMO

what a dive late in the game. But the FT though. 😆

That dive for the ball was his most important play of the season fr

He had 0 turnovers. Most impressive statline since being a Laker!

Him counting Giannis FT was funny as hell

If Jrue had made that, this post would have turned the other way round lol

That’s why I think of he’s traded inevitably, we need his replacement. We didn’t lose leads even then LeBron sat, just because he played just as good as a playmaker. He’s too important, even if it doesn’t seem.

Last minute or so encapsulates the Westbrook experience. So much heart and hustle to get that loose ball and then the pain of missing both free throws to ice the game lmao. But he still had a great game!

The hustle play at the end won us the game

Russell with the hustle

That dive on the floor was the key! It led to Lebron steal and AD dunk to put them up 5 for good

Wish he would’ve sunken one of those final free throws to put a bow on top of a great game. What amazing energy and assists. His hustle has never been the issue

0 turnovers! Play of the game dive!

He plays his heart out every night. It’s what he’s done his entire career. That’s why so many players have respect for him.

Fair fucking play. He’s proved me and many others wrong. Don’t want to see him get traded tbvh now

For all his warts, I will never question WB’s effort. For better or worse, Russ always plays hard. And I respect that.
That dive for the loose ball gave me Worthy vs the Celtics ’87 Finals vibe,

i’m a bucks fan here. i also do like the lakers and want to see them succeed. the lakers look so TOUGH now it’s actually crazy. great duel between giannis and AD. middleton also was back and still getting into his rhythm of becoming better than mj. but still it was a great game and the lakers played incredible. i pray for a bucks lakers final

I didn’t even care he missed the two free throws. He won me over when he dove for that loose ball and gave the turnover to LeBron. It was a key moment that changed the momentum. Go Russ redemption tour.

The funniest thing is that the most important play Russ made won’t even show up on his stat line. That dive was amazing.

Too bad playing your heart out only matters if you shoot well and aren’t washed.
