For the extra session of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 122-115 home win against the New York Knicks on Saturday, head coach Frank Vogel benched point player Russell Westbrook. Vogel was questioned about the reaction he hoped the benching would elicit after the game.<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis’ word of confidence to Russell Westbrook<\/h2>\n

\u201cYou have to go out there and play freely. There were some shots tonight that he usually takes in rhythm that he kind of passed up or hesitated. Me and LB were telling him, \u2018We don\u2019t care if you miss everyone. Just play. Shoot your rhythm shots. Don\u2019t hesitate.\u2019 And obviously, it\u2019s easier said than done because when you\u2019re in it, you don\u2019t want to be missing shots. I mean, he doesn\u2019t try to miss. A lot of the shots he takes are shots that he can make. But he\u2019s got to stay out of his own head,\u201d <\/em>Davis said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Russell Westbrook on the bench, the Lakers<\/a> are playing much better basketball, so Anthony Davis and Frank Vogel anticipate Brodie to bounce back stronger. With the Playoffs so close, Westbrook not improving even marginally is a concerning situation for the Lakers, but it also makes him as untradable as ever.

Westbrook’s performance vs Knicks<\/h2>\n

In 29 minutes, Westbrook scored five points on 1-of-10 shooting, had six assists, four rebounds, and four turnovers. He ended with a minus-15, which was the poorest on the squad. With the exception of a missed three-pointer and a pair of missed free throws in the final five-and-a-half minutes of regulation, Westbrook did not record any statistics.<\/p>\n
