Discussing the ways for Burns to capture the victory, the commentators suggested three ways – close the distance, secure takedowns, and don’t be Russell Westbrook. In what was supposed to be a comment recommending the fighter not to rush his actions and just make quality decisions, it ended up being a roast on the Los Angeles Clippers player. Burns ended up losing the fight via referee decision. -via BasketNews / May 7, 2023
Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook still have a stake in the outcome of the season, even after they were both eliminated from the playoffs. During an edition of the “Pat Bev Podcast with Rone,” Beverley recalled running into his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate at the gym Wednesday. “Hey Pat, Lakers win, I want my ring,” Westbrook said, according to Beverley, who feels the same way. “Russ, we gonna be suited and booted, boy, I’m gonna be right there waiting on that ring,” he said on his podcast. -via Yahoo!
