GIF: David West receives flagrant-1 for elbow

The Indiana Pacers are sliding as the season nears completion, and the seeds of the frustration are starting to show on the court.

David West - known as the enforcer for the Pacers front line - personified the Pacers' struggle, dropping an elbow on Matthew Dellavedova, and following-up with a shove to an inquiring Spencer Hawes late in the Pacers loss to Cleveland on Sunday afternoon. 

West picked up a Flagrant Foul-Penalty 1 for the incident, and both he and Hawes received personal fouls for the fracas. 

The Pacers went on to lose to the Cavs 90-76, marking the fifth time in six games they failed to break 80 points.
