While Russell Westbrook excels in his unfamiliar bench role, a lot of things have gone right for him over the past several weeks. He has contributed significantly to the Lakers’ recent turnaround, as evidenced by the fact that they have won 4 of their previous 5 games.

The Lakers may even think about keeping him around after this season because he takes joy in heading this bench squad. Despite all of these advantages, things started to go south in their most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Zach Collins, the Spurs forward, tried to block Westbrook‘s shot with two minutes left in the third quarter until Collins elbowed him in the head. After the devastating hit, a bloodied Westbrook stormed Collins while his teammate LeBron James held him back and covered his wounded forehead with a towel.
