NEW YORK — Warriors center Zaza Pachulia will not receive any discipline from the NBA for falling on Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook’s legs during Golden States rout Saturday of the Thunder, according to multiple reports.
While battling for a rebound with Warriors guard Nick Young in the third quarter, Westbrook collided with Young and crumpled to the floor. Pachulia — who was near the play, but not necessarily involved in the collision — fell on Westbrook, grabbing the reigning MVP’s leg before standing up.
An 11-second clip of the sequence quickly went viral, leaving many to debate whether Pachulia purposely fell on Westbrook.
