After Warriors victory 112-80 over Oklahoma, the debate about Zaza Pachulia being a dirty played was reopened.

Zaza Pachulia has a history of being involved in questionable incidents, including the closeout on Kawhi Leonard in Game 1 of last year's Western Conference finals that ended Leonard's season.

During third quarter of the Warriors' 112-80 victory, Russell Westbrook drove to the basket and got tangled with Nick Young while battling for the rebound. Both players fell to the floor. A moment later, Pachulia entered the picture and came crashing down on Westbrook’s legs.

According to Westbrook, this was no accident:
"Obviously it was intentional," Westbrook said after the game. "Nobody touched him, he fell over my leg. He tried to hurt me. But hey, that's how it goes."
Asked if he thought was Pachulia a dirty player, Westbrook said "Yeah. For sure."

Paul George echoed Westbrook's assessment: "He aimed where he was going to fall. That's Zaza making a Zaza play."

Westbrook and Pachulia have tangled before. Last season the two collided near center court in a Jan. 18 game at The Oracle. Pachulia was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul, but the lasting image was Pachulia standing over Westbrook.
