OKC Thunder sweet relief: Russell Westbrook 17th technical foul rescinded

The OKC Thunder often insinuate the NBA has an agenda against the organization. However, the league recently rescinded the 17th technical foul collected by All-Star guard Russell Westbrook. Earlier this season Westbrook picked up his 16th technical, earning the 11-year player out of UCLA his first career suspension.

Westbrook received his 17th tech in the Thunder’s match versus the Dallas Mavericks. With 2:39 remaining in the third-quarter, Russ drove the lane and was fouled by Dorian Finney-Smith. Upon receiving the contact Westbrook flailed his arms, prompting official CJ Washington to assess the Brodie his 17th tech.
