OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr's shouting suggestion for a traveling call on Russell Westbrook was ignored on a critical possession in the final minute of Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
The Oklahoma City Thunder led by three points when Westbrook, defended tightly by Klay Thompson, picked up his dribble after crossing halfcourt.
Referee Monty McCutchen awarded Westbrook a timeout with 17.2 seconds remaining despite the All-Star point guard dragging his pivot foot, prompting Kerr to animatedly make the traveling motion and shout for the call while standing only feet away.
