The Los Angeles Lakers continue to stay in the playoff hunt.

After last night’s win over Cleveland, LeBron and Co. improved to 31-41 on the year. That puts them in ninth place in the Western Conference standings, which would be good enough for a play-in opportunity in the postseason.

They’ve now won two of their last three contests and will look to improve their playoff standing with 10 games left on the schedule.

Los Angeles dominated the fourth quarter to pull away late. LeBron James scored a team-high 38 points while Russell Westbrook added a 20 spot.

The highlight of the matchup was James’s posterizing slam dunk over former teammate Kevin Love., but Westbrook was the talk of the postgame.

After the game, Laker players took to the mics as the team held their nightly press conference.

Westbrook stole the show with his postgame outfit.

In the postgame interviews, Westbrook came out rocking a sweater with an interesting design.

That design was actually artwork from his four-year-old son.

“My son gave me this for my birthday,” Westbrook responded when asked about the sweater. “He drew this for me and he had it made for me as a little cashmere sweater.” 

Westbrook goes on to explain the drawing, which pictures him, his son, some clouds, and the sunshine.

“He’s an artistic young kid so I wanted to make sure that he sees it and knows that I’ve got it on.” 

Russell Westbrook has been criticized at times for his play on the court, but he doesn’t let it affect his personal life. The awesome sweater shows what a role model he is, and it’s given us the wholesome content that we all needed today.
