Russell Westbrook Has No Regrets About Waiving Goodbye After Patrick Beverley's Ejection
Russell Westbrook had an incredible Thursday night. He dropped 40 points as his Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 122-117. He also picked up a technical foul for waiving goodbye to Patrick Beverley after the latter was ejected. After the game he said he had no regrets.
Beverley fouled out with 2:52 remaining in the game and he was ejected as he picked up his second technical foul for arguing. As he walked off the floor, Westbrook -- who has often clashed with Beverley over the years -- waived goodbye and also picked up a technical foul.

After the game, Westbrook was asked if he regretted waiving at Beverley and picked up a technical. He seemed to be fine with it:
Reporter: “After Patrick Beverley got ejected, James Harden came over to you. Do you wish you didn’t do that?”

Westbrook led his team to a huge road win while dropping 40 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out five assists. I don't think he's going to regret getting a technical foul in all that mess.
