The NBA is to review the tiff between New Orleans guard Chris Paul and the Celtics' Rajon Rondo after Boston's 97-87 victory over Hornets on Sunday night.

Paul pursued Rondo toward the Celtics' locker room postgame and had to be blocked by Boston assistant coaches. The point guards had been assessed matching technical fouls in the second quarter after they got tangled up under the basket.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the league was looking into the incident, though Paul seemed unaware and unconcerned.

"That's over and done with," he said Monday after a 117-111 loss in New York. "We just played the Knicks. The Boston game, that's over and done with."

Paul denied on his Twitter page earlier Monday that he ever got close to the Boston locker room or exchanged words with Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau.

Hornets coach Byron Scott said the league didn't call to interview him about the incident and he didn't ask Paul much about it.
