In an insane sequence of events during the game against the Celtics, Russell Westbrook of the Lakers pushed Dennis Schröder for no reason. Right before the end of the first half, Jayson Tatum managed a steal off of Westbrook’s pass at half court. After getting dunked on in the fast break, Russell Westbrook inadvertently pushed off Dennis Schröder, who was running with Tatum on the break.

From Westbrook’s reaction, it seemed like a mistake more than an intentional push. And the referees agreed by giving Dennis a blocking foul. However, are these mistakes happening more than usual now? First, let’s look at the sequence of events that happened at today’s game.

What does this mean for Russell Westbrook?

For the Lakers, these inadvertent blunders have become a common occurrence in games. Especially since the injury to LeBron James who has had an aggressive return from injury in tonight’s game. However, Westbrook clearly struggled tonight as Mr. Triple Double was nowhere near one in this game.
