Russell Westbrook had no interest hanging around after the Thunder were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday night.
Westbrook dropped 47 points on a 15-of-34 shooting performance, and his team was +13 with him on the floor. But even that wasn’t enough, as the second leading scorer on the team was Alex Abrines, who scored only 12 points, and that’s not going to get it done. Victor Oladipo had an awful game, hitting just four of 17 shots he attempted, for 10 points.
And Russ wasn’t about to stand around and stew after the 105-99 loss at the Toyota Center, either. In fact, he didn’t even stick around to shake hands.
Here he is making his way off the court, toward the locker room, with no intention whatsoever of interacting with the Rockets players, while the rest of his teammates shook hands with their opponent.

For some reason, reporters didn’t ask Westbrook about it after the game, yet it’s been a huge deal when LeBron James, Cam Newton and others did the same thing in the past.
Russ looked like a sore loser on that sequence. He’s at least gotta shake hands with James Harden, right?
