Report: NBA to review Pachulia flagrant, Westbrook's comments
The National Basketball Association plans on reviewing Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia's flagrant-1 foul on Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder from Wednesday night at Oracle Arena, league sources told ESPN's Marc Stein.
Also under review will be Westbrook's comments following his team's 21-point loss where he swore revenge on the near 7-footer by saying he was going to "get his ass back."
The foul in question came during the dying seconds of the second quarter when Westbrook attempted to dribble around a screen by his teammate Enes Kanter. Pachulia followed his assignment to the top of the perimeter and set a hard pick right into the five-time All-Star, sending him to the floor.
To make matters worse, Pachulia - who was second in Western Conference frontcourt voting as of the second returns - stood over his fallen adversary to pour salt in his wounds.

The two teams play again on Feb. 11 at Chesapeake Energy Arena, and if Westbrook is looking to get into it with the giant Georgian, Pachulia hopes he'll "bring it on."
