Thunder star Russell Westbrook is one of the biggest trolls in the NBA, and he was up to his best tricks late in Saturday’s game against the Jazz.
Utah was clinging to a two-point lead in the game’s final seconds, when Donovan Mitchell crossed up Paul George big-time before getting to the rim. It seemed like he had an easy dunk, but Westbrook wisely fouled Mitchell — putting him on the line so he’d have to earn the points to potentially force overtime.

Mitchell missed the first free throw, putting an end to the Jazz’s comeback effort, and Westbrook made sure to let him know about it by clapping right in his direction.
