Sunday’s Game 1 matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards was an exciting one, and players were scrapping early to grab any advantage they could get.
For Wizards forward Markieff Morris, that meant straight up tackling Hawks star Paul Millsap. The photo above (via SB Nation) is a hilarious screenshot of what can only be called an egregious act.
Miraculously, Morris was not called for a foul.
The video makes that fact even more ridiculous.

The two were going after each other during the first half, including when Morris took a trip to the free-throw line.
Both he and Millsap exchanged words:
Millsap: "He's on the line!"
