A head-to-head matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers took place at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night. There is no doubt that the Lakers are going to have a hard time establishing a good position in this league, with a 2-10 record going into the game. As the game progressed, fans saw Russell Westbrook testing isolated plays against former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant.
Even though his main goal is to score, Durant’s defensive plays cannot be ignored. Notably, Westbrook’s technique didn’t work in front of the two-time NBA champion on this occasion. In the midst of all this, every fan was focused on how the game turned out, but an NBA commentator said something about this particular play that has sparked quite a bit of discussion on Twitter.
