Leads team with 28 points Westbrook totaled 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Despite all the bad press surrounding Westbrook's season, he's actually improved quite a bit in the closing weeks, averaging 22.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists over his past 10 games. While those numbers come close to his days as a nightly triple-double threat, his struggles in the Lakers' system are obvious and well-documented. The Lakers are going to miss the playoffs with five future Hall-of-Famers as their usual starting five, and it's not a scheme that works well for Westbrook.
