In the wake of Kawhi Leonard's unfortunate injury in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, old friends Gregg Popovich and Mike Brown came to defend their sides with different game plans.
No, Zaza Pachulia did not purposely move his leg in under Leonard, Brown said calmly. Then he pointed out several moments from Game 1 when San Antonio Spurs players had moved under Golden State Warriors defenders that did not result in injury -- but could have. Brown's case had time stamps for good measure. It was neither inflammatory nor aggressive, as is his nature.
