Matthew Dellavedova says he didn't hit Andre Iguodala below the belt intentionally

According to Matthew Dellavedova, he did not intentionally strike Warriors guard Andre Iguodala below the belt last during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Here's Dellavdova's quote via Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal:

"I don't really know why they reviewed it. I was just stopping the break. We only had three team fouls, so we weren't in the bonus," Dellavedova said. "I haven't seen that (replay). I was swiping from behind and just tried to grab his arm."

Here's a look at the play in question:

The play resulted in a bit of an argument between two teams with Tristan Thompson pulling Dellavedova away from Iguodala and Iman Shumpert jawing with Iguodala instead. After a review, Dellavedova was called for a common foul and the game resumed.

This certainly won't help Delly's reputation as a dirty player or with how the Warriors look at him. In this case, though, it really looks and seems as if this was just an accident and nothing more.
