“The word ‘slump’ isn’t something I lean on,” Westbrook added. “I stay locked into my craft, figure it out. I’m just in a position to try to figure out the best way to play at the moment. It’s as simple as that. I’ll figure it out, and that’s that. … Figure out ways to just make a f***ing shot. That’s it.”
In the loss vs the Kings, Westbrook went 2/14 as he missed 12 of the shots he attempted. After the game, head coach Frank Vogel admitted that the 33-year-old is in a slump right now.
