Why are the Thunder so frustrated over free throws?

OKC this season is on pace for a franchise record low and an NBA historically low free throw rate season, but why? I watched the tape to try to find out why the Thunder are having such a hard time getting to the line.

A touchdown pass from Shai after forcing a steal to Dort leads to a big dunk and and-1 from Cason.

The Thunder are up to their usual activities forcing all of the turnovers.

Mark Daigneault calls for a timeout.

The Thunder are having a slow start offensively with only 4 points so far that haven’t come in transition.

Also 3 made early 3s by the Jazz to OKC’s zero is less than ideal as well.

A phenomenal pass from Hartenstein reading the defense to hit JDub on that back cut from the corner.

JDub instantly turns defense into offense after forcing a Jazz miss and then scoring in transition off a long pass from Shai to open up tonight’s game.

🧵1/4 Tonight was another night that displayed just how frustrating the Thunder's free throw situation has been this season.

Draymond Green was called for a technical with 5:40 left in the second quarter.
