Players work extra hard to make up for short bench

KANSAS CITY, MO. “”mdash; Guard Russell Westbrook saw the bench a few times Tuesday night, but only on timeouts. Even after hitting his knee hard on a play in the lane, Westbrook was immediately back in after the stoppage of play and went on to play all 40 minutes.
Coach Ben Howland thought it was Westbrook’s pride more than anything that got hurt on the play.
