‘This one’s on me, honestly,’ says Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Clippers’ loss to the Orlando Magic

The Clippers gave up 39 points in the fourth quarter, leading to their defeat.

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Clippers were defeated by the Orlando Magic, 108-113. The loss snapped their four-game winning streak, and Russell Westbrook took full responsibility.

The Clippers gave up 39 points in the fourth quarter, leading to their defeat. Westbrook finished with 14 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, and a steal in 37 minutes.

“This one is entirely on me. I could have done a better job. It got off to a good start. But only in the second half was it bad. And I had to do a better job of assisting the guys in the second and fourth quarters. So, no one did anything. But, to be honest, it’s my fault “Westbrook stated.

For the Magic, Markelle Fultz had a game-winning performance with 28 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Wendell Carter Jr. helped him out with 27 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and three steals.

Paul George led the Clippers with 30 points, 3 rebounds, and one assist in a losing effort. “We did not complete rotations. Wendell Carter shot well, but on some of them, we just didn’t finish rotations and didn’t take his shot-making seriously “George stated.

George also believes Westbrook will perform well for the team in upcoming games.

Westbrook, who missed three free throws in the fourth quarter, was described as a “professional” by George. “He’s a seasoned soldier. The top 75 players. He’ll make it through it. He knows to stay confident, that we believe in him and have his back, and that he will continue to attack. I’m never concerned about Russ’ shooting. I only know what he brings to the table and how valuable he is to the team. And that is more important than anything else.”
