MILWAUKEE – Down by two on the road with just 14.2 seconds left, Russell Westbrook picked the pocket of Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker. It was crunch time, and the Thunder needed a chance, which Westbrook delivered.
On the ensuing offensive possession, Westbrook skated left past Tony Snell into the lane, but the rangy Milwaukee guard dipped a hand into the Thunder All-Star point guard’s path. Snell managed to barely tip the ball and after an official review the referees determined that the ball grazed off of Westbrook before skipping out of bounds. Bucks’ point guard Malcolm Brogdon knocked down two free throws as the Thunder played the foul game, and the Thunder left Wisconsin with a 98-94 loss to move to 21-14 on the season.
