“I have no reaction, they missed”: Russell Westbrook tacitly dodges question about Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving’s missed gamewinners vs Wizards

Russell Westbrook was in no mood to talk about Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving following a terrible game personally, despite a W for the Wizards.

The Washington Wizards just about grabbed a win despite Westbrook’s antics to close the game. While the Brody had 14 points and a ton of assists in the 4th, he really messed up by attempting a 30-footer. Westbrook, despite only being 1-of-6 at the time, shot it with utmost confidence.

He held his form, expecting his shot to swish. But it didn’t, and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who was guarding his shot, meanwhile had streaked down the other end. The outlet pass led to TLC making an easy, open layup in transition, giving the Nets a one-point lead. If Beal and Thomas Bryant hadn’t combined for the final oop, Westbrook would have been looking at a shellacking.

The Brody took 25 shots on the night, making only 7 of them. So he took the least insulting route and voted not to answer a couple of questions.

Given his bad shooting night, it was understandable that Russ wouldn’t go on and criticize somebody for a brick:

“I have no reaction. They missed. We win. Game over.”

All in all, Russ was in a jovial mood despite his poor individual night since he got the W. He asked Drew Gooden to hurry up with his post-game question since he wanted to watch the Cowboys play. Unfortunately for Russ, Dallas got eliminated from playoff contention last night.

The Wizards are in line to play 5 teams which are playoff-bound this year. They need to win at least 4 of them to make it to a .500 record. It would be a ton of great results if they managed a result from either of Boston or Philadelphia. Their other games are at home (against Miami, Phoenix and Utah).
