Thunder journal: Westbrook bringing others aboard for technical foul shots

Last season, Russell Westbrook was the man when it came to free throws following technical fouls.

Westbrook took nearly all of them when the Thunder was awarded one via an opponent's technical foul. But this season, with Westbrook shooting just 65.4 percent from the line, others have stepped up to take the shots. Paul George and Alex Abrines have each taken technical free throws with Westbrook on the floor.

Thunder coach Billy Donovan said those technical shots can often be a great way to get a player going who's been struggling from the field.
