Identify however you want but of course that was a punch. It was not something I would have kicked him out of the game for but thems the rules.
The funny part is I'm not sure there would have been a clear view of this incident if not for this being a playoff game. Foz called it correctly. This is a clear case of a) trying to get into Hunter's head and b) hoping to get Hunter to react as he did so Mathurin could flop to the ground.
The Pacers getting back to back playoff series with division rivals is interesting to say the least.
