It has been a very frustrating series for the Rockets. They won Game 1 112-97 and looked to have a real shot at unseating the top-seeded team in the Western Conference.
But since then, the Lakers have won three straight, and they took a huge lead into the fourth quarter of Game 5.
Westbrook has put up his usual individual numbers in the series, but his team has had trouble dealing with L.A.’s tight defense.
After a frustrating loss last year to the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs, Westbrook is headed towards yet another empty playoff exit.
