Russell Westbrook couldn't just leave the gym after his abysmal 6-for-25 shooting performance in a 21-point loss to the Suns Friday night.
As soon as he could, Westbrook made his way back out onto the court after the game to practice getting some shots up.

The loss and his performance certainly didn't sit well with Russ, who also had eight turnovers and was criticized for hunting assists late in the game. Russ maintains he wasn't and the over-passing was more a result of his shot being so off on the night. There's probably a little of truth to both sides.
Westbrook's season is already historic and one of the greatest ever but one more triple-double will really cement it by giving him the record for the most in a single season. Russ wants it and has three more chances to get it. No one could try harder than he will to get it, and also to keep the Thunder winning and with some positive momentum heading into the playoffs.
