Yet in those 12 days, Russell Westbrook “absolutely” gave serious consideration to remaining with the Jazz. “I would have come in and did whatever they asked me to do,” Westbrook said. “I told them I could be a mentor.

Teammates and coaches couldn’t stop raving about what Alex Caruso did in Friday night’s come-from-behind overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors. “His IQ defensively, his instincts, it’s amazing to watch.
