Rondo, Paul won't face discipline: NBA

The NBA will not penalize Chris Paul or Rajon Rondo for an incident between them after a recent game in Boston.

Paul pursued Rondo toward the Celtics' locker room and was blocked by Boston assistant coaches after the Celtics' 97-87 victory over New Orleans on Sunday night.

The point guards had been assessed matching technical fouls in the second quarter after they got tangled up under the basket.

League spokesman Tim Frank also said Thursday the league won't take action against Paul over a game incident at New York on Monday.

Knicks forward Al Harrington came up with a loose ball after a Hornets turnover with about 5½ minutes left.

Paul dove on top of him and made contact with Harrington's head.
