[Saba Sports News] In the Los Angeles Clippers’ victory over the Houston Rockets, a moment featuring guard Russell Westbrook attempting to dunk over Dillon Brooks became a highlight, despite Westbrook’s miss.
The Clippers ended the Rockets’ six-game winning streak with a 106-100 win at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. During the second quarter, Westbrook, in a fast-break, attempted to dunk over Brooks but missed. This effort, though unsuccessful, produced an impressive photo of Westbrook airborne, with his hand near Brooks’ face.
Brooks used the missed dunk for trash talk, teasing Westbrook about his diminished athleticism, to which Westbrook responded with laughter. Despite being past his prime, Westbrook’s hang time in the photo was notable. In the game, Westbrook contributed 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Brooks, who fouled out, recorded 4 points and 4 rebounds.
