Ho-hum production in loss Westbrook notched 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to the Raptors. Impact By most players' standards, Westbrook's final stat line was respectable, but his output of late has been far from his production over the course of his career. Despite being the Lakers' obvious second option in the absence of Anthony Davis (foot), Westbrook is averaging just 16.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists since the start of March, and those numbers are down to 10.7/4.3/5.0 over his past three games. Los Angeles' addition of Westbrook in the offseason has been criticized throughout the campaign, but the veteran point guard has done little to stem the blowback with his play on the court.
