ORLANDO -- Zaza Pachulia and Chandler Parsons sure picked a strange way to celebrate a bucket in a critical moment.
After Parsons’ game-tying pull-up jumper with 1:59 remaining in overtime, Pachulia pushed his Dallas Mavericks teammate with his right arm from behind as they jogged toward the bench for a timeout, shouting at Parsons.
Parsons replied with an animated gesture and shouted back at Pachulia. They continued the intense conversation all the way back to the bench, with Parsons getting in Pachulia’s face briefly, wrapping both arms around the big man.
