NBA: Russell Westbrook attacks Pachulia:”He wanted to hurt me”

During the OKC’s defeat of Thunder against the Golden State Warriors, Russell Westbrook barely escaped injury after Zaza Pachulia had fallen on his feet. After the game, Westbrook subordinated to Georgian intent.

Towards the end of the third quarter, Westbrook went down with opponent Nick Young in the fight for the ball. Warriors-Center Zaza Pachulia was not involved in this situation, but stayed nearby and apparently also got out of balance.

He fell down and landed on Westbrook’s legs of all people, which caused him pain. He didn’t hurt himself worse. After the match, the current MVP was approached about the incident and attacked Pachulia sharply.

He called him a “dirty” player, claiming that Pachulia had “deliberately” fallen on his feet, and he tried to hurt me,”said Westbrook, and also argued with the reporter who asked the question. For Westbrook, the question was “stupid and superfluous”, since Pachulia’s intention was “obvious”.

Later Celtics star Kyrie Irving spoke via Instagram. He posted underneath a picture of the incident:”The league should take a closer look at this man[Pachulia], it’s ridiculous.”
