Updated Playoff Picture: Happy Thursday, folks. The Thunder are back in the 7-seed.
Maddie Lee (Oklahoman) on Russell Westbrook’s 17th technical getting rescinded by the league: “The League Office review process rescinded what would have been Westbrook’s 17th technical foul of the season. Westbrook entered the Thunder’s game against the Lakers Tuesday still two regular-season technicals away from a second suspension. Westbrook was originally handed the since-rescinded technical Sunday in the third quarter of the Thunder’s 106-103 loss to the Mavericks. Westbrook drew a foul as he drove to the basket with 2:39 left in the period.
