NBA playoffs: Russell Westbrook gets lucky break following Utah Jazz fallout
Russell Westbrook is free to play against Utah Jazz
Thunder have it all to do as they trail 3-1 going into Game 5 of the series.
Westbrook added to Thunder’s woes when he got himself in foul trouble after an ugly confrontation with Jazz centre Rudy Gobert.
The incident took place with just under eight minutes of the game remaining.
For his part in the fracas, Westbrook was fined £7,000 and given a postgame technical foul.
He could have also been slapped with a one-game suspension if he left the bench area to get involved.
