Report: Pachulia won't face discipline for swiping at Shumpert's groin
Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia will not face any extra discipline for appearing to jab at the groin of Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert in Game 4, according to Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports.
Amick reported earlier Saturday that the league was reviewing the incident after Pachulia appeared to take a shot at Shumpert's nether regions during a third-quarter tussle.

Pachulia and Shumpert were assessed double technicals at the time.
This marks the second occasion this postseason that the Warriors big man has avoided discipline following a controversial play, as Pachulia also escaped punishment after his "unnatural closeout" on Kawhi Leonard during Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
Pachulia has been solid in limited action during this year's Finals, averaging four points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.5 steals on 58.3 percent shooting in just 14 minutes per game.
