Russell Westbrook roasts Rockets who laughed at Roberson's missed free throws
Westbrook noticed something the players all had in common
The end of Game 4 between the Thunder and Rockets on Sunday got pretty weird, starting with Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni electing to intentionally foul Thunder forward Andre Roberson until he was mercifully removed from the game.
Roberson struggled from the line, as expected, and a few Rockets players on the sideline seemed to find it absolutely hilarious.

On Monday Russell Westbrook was asked about the Rockets' behavior, and while he didn't see it happen during the game, he had a pretty good idea which players were involved.
"Probably the guys that don't play. Probably over there, the ones laughing, if I had to guess," Westbrook said.

Oh man. What a burn. Would you expect anything less from Westbrook, though?
The best part is that he's right. Sure enough, while starting center Clint Capela was in the middle, the main culprits certainly seem to be Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Bobby Brown. Dekker is injured, while Harrell and Brown both picked up DNP-CDs on Sunday and have played a combined nine minutes in the entire series, the bulk of which came during garbage time of a Game 2 blowout.
Leave it to Westbrook to speak the truth in the most blunt, biting way possible.
