Both teams are trying to avoid the play-in tournament going into Wednesday’s crucial late-season game at Crypto.com Arena, and Russell Westbrook surely has added incentive.
PLAYA VISTA — Motivation comes in different forms and from different places. For Russell Westbrook and Ivica Zubac, two former Lakers, seeing purple and gold jerseys across the court could be just the impetus the Clippers need to get back to winning.
“We all know what our goal is for that game. We need a win,” Zubac said. “We’re going to do whatever, everything we can to get a win. It’s all about the team. It’s not about individuals’ performances, whoever and what you can get individually. It’s all about team performance.
“There’s for sure extra motivation,” Zubac said. “I’m playing the team that traded me. Russ is playing the team that traded him. There’s always motivation against the team that got rid of you, so you want to prove them wrong.
