Russell Westbrook wanted to be sure of the play in question, so he asked the media member again which play the NBA was reviewing. Westbrook already knew.
When the Thunder brought Westbrook to the media scrum Tuesday, he was fully prepared to address the fourth quarter altercation involving him and Rudy Gobert. The NBA typically reviews all plays, but it was taking a special look at the 7:55 mark of the fourth in Game 4.
Westbrook received a $10,000 fine and a postgame technical foul for “initiating a confrontation,” per a league release Tuesday evening.
