The NBA has suspended Atlanta Hawks center Zaza Pachulia and Orlando Magic shooting guard Jason Richardson for Game 4 on Sunday.
Pachulia and Richardson were involved in an altercation with 2:22 remaining in the 4th quarter of Game 3 Friday night.
Dwight Howard drove the lane and was hammered by Pachulia. Howard reacted by swinging a forearm, Pachulia flung an elbow, then Richardson charged into Pachulia’s face. As they jawed, Pachulia appeared to deliver at least one head-butt to Richardson, who responded by slapping Pachulia in the jaw with his left hand.
Atlanta leads the best-of-seven series two games to one.
