The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to struggle and Russell Westbrook is taking responsibility for their issues.

“I just hate losing, man,” Westbrook said. “One thing I hate with a passion is losing and I know that a lot of that is on me. Every night I go out and try to leave everything I have on the floor, knowing that if we don't succeed, I know I missed something to make sure we put ourselves in position to win the game.

“I haven't been doing that. We haven't been winning. Regardless of numbers and all that, it doesn't really matter. You've gotta win games in this league to make an impact and that's the most important part to me is finding ways to get wins.”

Following their loss to the Magic, Westbrook lingered near Oklahoma City's bench before eventually returning to the locker room.

“It just started with a sense of urgency, man,” Westbrook said. “And that starts with me. It's my responsibility to make sure we're ready to play, we're ready to play on both sides of the ball.

“To get us out of this funk, we've gotta lock in. I take ownership of everything that's going on because I've been here and those standards that we set here in Oklahoma City I have to set them, and set examples. It starts with me and we're gonna turn this thing around.”
