Pachulia assessed flagrant foul for slapping Heat's Babbitt

NBA/Twitter

Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia just couldn't keep his hands to himself on Monday night.

While making his way back up the floor at the American Airlines Arena, Pachulia decided to slap Miami Heat forward Luke Babbitt square in the face after Babbitt dipped his shoulder into the near 7-footer.

After a video review, Pachulia was assessed a flagrant-1 foul by the officials, while Babbitt received a technical foul.

This was the final meeting of the season between the two teams, meaning we won't be seeing any acts of revenge from either player like we very well could when Pachulia and Russell Westbrook cross paths again next month.
