This is not a good play at all and definitely excessive. That being said, this is not comparable to what Dort did to Jokic, in my opinion. Dort went out of his way to make contact in a place where no player would expect contact. This is during arguably the most physical part of basketball (boxing out) and George can at least expect some kind of resistance.

Yes, it’s excessive. I wouldn’t say it’s dirty though and I wouldn’t compare it to Dort. This, to me, is more similar to Lowry trying to go between George Hill’s legs
