Westbrook: Rockets 'who don't play' were the ones laughing at Roberson

Russell Westbrook is continuing to stick up for his Oklahoma City teammates.

The Thunder point guard took a shot at the Rockets' bench for laughing at Andre Roberson's free-throw shooting on Sunday, suggesting there was a reason they were on the sidelines to begin with.

"Probably the guys who don't play are the ones over there laughing, if I had to guess," Westbrook said.

While Westbrook claims he didn't see the bench laugh at the time, a number of Houston players - including Montrezl Harrell and Sam Dekker - were caught on television cracking up after Roberson missed a crucial free throw in the fourth quarter of Game 4.

Roberson has been downright dreadful from the line in the series, going just 2-of-17 over four contests.
