Twitter asks if Zaza Pachulia purposely slid his feet underneath Kawhi Leonard to injure ankle

Twitter wondered if this was a dirty play by the Warriors center.

Kawhi Leonard was knocked out of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals in the third quarter after turning his ankle for a second time, and a close review of the play led to a debate over the cleanliness of the play which injured the Spurs forward.

A replay showed Warriors center Zaza Pachulia sliding his feet underneath Leonard—who had turned his left ankle minutes prior—just before he landed on a jumpshot. Many raced to their keyboards to call the play dirty, claiming Pachulia moved his feet in order to re-aggrevate Leonard’s ankle.

What Zaza Pachulia just got away with doing just makes me sick. So that's how Golden State has to win now.

I think that Zaza Pachulia play on Leonard changed the whole momentum of the game for the Spurs! Dirty play that sure looked on purpose.

Was it dirty? You be the judge.

The Spurs diagnosed Leonard with an ankle sprain.
