Mavs fan removed during Game 4 after incident with CP3's family
Warning: Story contains coarse language.
A Dallas Mavericks fan was removed from Sunday's Game 4 contest against the Phoenix Suns after an incident with Chris Paul's family, the team released in a statement, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the fan put their hands on Paul's mother and pushed his wife. The 37-year-old's kids also reportedly witnessed the situation.
Following Phoenix's 111-101 loss in which Paul scored just five points before fouling out in a career-low 23 minutes, the veteran sent out a tweet highlighting the incident.
Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families….fuck that!!

Earlier in the playoffs, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving was fined the maximum $50,000 for flipping off a Boston Celtics fan. Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook was also candid this season when discussing the harassment his family received from fans.
