Absolutely nothing Westbrook could do about the initial positioning. That's just where they both landed when the play ended. Russell IMMEDIATELY tried to step over and away from Harrington but couldn't because HARRINGTON GRABBED WESTBROOK'S LEG AND HELD ON. Had he not done that, Russell would have been away from him in one second. But he couldn't because he was being held. Which also caused him to lose balance and allowed Nene to come over and push him down.
That could have been an injury right there. Russell could have twisted an ankle or even landed wrong and injured a knee. Not cool.
You're glad that the team used this to fire themselves up and win the game? So am I. But it might not have happened that way. Russell might have been injured, been out again for weeks or even months, and the game lost anyway. How does that scenario grab you?
