Russell Westbrook on his 3-point attempts: "I honestly need to stop taking as many"

In the past 10 games, the Thunder is 8-2.

And in those eight wins, Russell Westbrook took only 2.6 three-pointers per contest. But in the two losses, Westbrook jacked up a combined 16 — going 3-of-10 at Golden State last Thursday and 0-of-6 against the Pelicans on Sunday night.

There's a clear correlation. And it's something even Westbrook admits he must improve upon. Even including this recent uptick in attempts, Westbrook is only averaging 3.4 per game this season, more than a full attempt less than his career-high 4.7 last season.

“Yeah, but I'm still missing a lot of them,” Westbrook said. “I honestly need to stop taking as many as I'm taking to tell you the truth. I'm gonna take those down as the season goes along.”
