And following the conclusion of Game 4, Paul’s mother had hands put on her by Dallas fans and his wife was also pushed, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

McMenamin added that Paul’s kids witnessed the incident and “felt very unsafe.”

The Mavericks are aware of the incident and issued a statement a statement via Marc Stein:

“The Dallas Mavericks are aware of an incident between a fan and the family of Chris Paul. It was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. The Mavericks, along with American Airlines Center, swiftly removed the fan from today’s game.”
