“LORD HAVE MERCY! Russell Westbrook led with a Quadruple Double, with 10 TURNOVERS!”: Skip Bayless launches an assault on the Lakers’ superstar as they blow a 26-point lead and lose to the Thunder

FS1 Analyst Skip Bayless berates Lakers’ superstar Russell Westbrook, as they blow a 26-point lead and give Thunder their first win 

The Los Angeles Lakers managed to split their back-to-back games. In the absence of LeBron James, they managed to secure an OT win over the Spurs yesterday. Tonight, the game seemed a little more comfortable, with the Thunder being 0-4 to start the season. The Lakers took a 26 point first-half lead, and it seemed like the game was over. However, the young Thunder team had different plans, as they led by 2 points to end the 3rd.

The Lakers lost the game 123-115 at the end. Anthony Davis recorded 30 points and 8 rebounds. Russell Westbrook recorded a quadruple-double, with 20 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 turnovers.

The Thunder had a whole team effort, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way with 27 points and 9 rebounds. All their starters had double-digit scoring.

Skip Bayless goes after Russell Westbrook for shattering his ‘dream’

Before the start of the game, Skip Bayless put out a tweet claiming this was supposed to be Westbrook’s dream game.

However, things did not go the Lakers’ way, as they blew a 26 point lead. They had a very sloppy 2nd half, which the young Thunder team capitalized on.

Skip couldn’t believe what was happening and put out quite a few tweets about the same.
