    Pacers forward Paul George took exception to Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas getting too physical with him down low during the fourth quarter of Indiana's 100-83 win in Game 4 on Saturday afternoon.

    With 5:03 remaining in the game, George and Valanciunas jostled in the paint as Pacers center Ian Mahinmi hit the second of two free throws. Replays appeared to show that Valanciunas caught George around the neck area and then shoved him away.

    George proceeded to get in the 7-footer's face, which prompted Raptors teammates to come to Valanciunas' aide. Toronto forward DeMarre Carroll was particularly enraged at George, and was trying to get him away from Valanciunas as the players exchanged words and had to be separated.
