Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Clippers lost his shoe but won the night for sinking a 3-pointer without the sneaker on Tuesday. (Watch the video below.)
Westbrooks shoe somehow became dislodged from his foot in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers . In the middle of a play, the former league MVP gave up his attempt to put the shoe back on, kicking it off instead.
