Pachulia played heavy minutes for the Warriors in a come-from-behind Game 1 victory but also found himself in hot water after a controversial third quarter play that effectively sidelined Spurs star Kawhi Leonard for Game 2.
Pachulia’s foot slid under a jump shooting Leonard, who landed on it and aggravated a left ankle sprain he sustained in the previous round.
The dangerous play has since been the subject of heated debate all over social media, especially since it served as the turning point from which the Warriors launched their comeback bid to win.
Pachulia played just 6 minutes and scored 4 points in a 136-100 Warriors blowout of the Spurs for a 2-0 series lead. – Rappler.com
