The physical battle continued between the Jazz and Thunder on Monday night with Paul George and Joe Ingles getting tangled up — again.
The pair have been all over each other in the first-round playoff series going back to Game 1, and it doesn't look like the action will be slowing down anytime soon. George earned a technical foul in the first quarter of Game 4 for shoving the Aussie.
George was standing on the sidelines waiting to inbound the ball, and when Ingles got a little too close for comfort, George pushed him right in the chest.
It's getting spicy in Game 4.

Both teams descended on the pair in typical NBA fashion with the officials calming things down quickly. Ricky Rubio buried the free throw following the technical foul on George.
Game 4 was chippy from the start with 12 fouls in the first quarter, setting the tone for the rest of the contest. The back-and-forth between George and Ingles continued into the second quarter with Ingles dishing out plenty of trash talk after knocking down his third 3-pointer of the game.
Joe Ingles is a SAVAGE.
