During a Warriors-Thunder game back in January 2017 ZaZa Pachulia infamously stood over Russell Westbrook after a hard foul.
During the post-game interview Westbrook vowed to get ZaZa’s “ass back” for disrespecting him.

Fast forward to tonight where Westbrook finally got his revenge on ZaZa.
Watch as Westbrook gets called for a flagrant 1 for delivering a big hit on ZaZa during tonight’s Pistons-Thunder game.
Two years ago, you’ll recall, after Pachulia fouled Westbrook hard in Oakland, Westbrook said, “I’m gonna get his ass back, straight up.”
