Russell Westbrook has grown tired of dealing with the media and appears to be adopting a similar interview style as Marshawn Lynch.
Westbrook had recently been short with his answers following losses or under frurstraing circumstances, but he took the same approach after a big win by the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Golden State Warriors.
Here’s the transcript:
That second quarter run, why did that change the game?
Execution. Thought we did a good job of executing.
Down the stretch, you and Serge seemed to be in a really great rhythm. What allowed you to be so successful?
Did a good job of execution.
(Question about their small lineup)
It’s good.
Eight assists in fourth quarter. What did you see from them defensively that allowed that?
We did a good job of executing
(From Berry Tramel) Are you upset with something?
Nah. I just don’t like you.
You don’t?
No.
You don’t like Nick (Gallo, Thunder reporter) either?
I love Nick. I don’t like you.
Well you gave us about the same answers.
Yeah. You got another question?
