The Golden State Warriors superstar Draymond Green does what he does best, brings aggression to the table. The 4x NBA Champion didn’t fail to bring the same to the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves as well. However, things went a little out of control between DrayMagic and Anthony Edwards in the last quarter of the game. Notably, the incident occurred hours after refs ejected the Dubs star with double tech for elbowing Donovan Mitchell.

The Warriors’ dream start with a 5-game winning streak didn’t last long as they lose three games in a row. Despite Stephen Curry‘s 30+ points average in this season, the Bay Area side haven’t been able to convert them into winning points. On top of it, Green’s aggression has cost them badly in the recent outing. Let’s dig deeper into the 33-year-old’s role in the team.

The Warriors suffered a frustrating 110-116 loss against the Wolves only hours after falling short against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite Steph’s brilliant performances on both occasions, the Dubs failed to ride on it. Above all, Draymond Green seemed to have missed his trick this season.

Green, who is known for facilitating the play for the Baby-faced Assassin with amazing assists, didn’t explode yet for the side. At the same time, he brought out his aggression on the court, twice in 24 hours.

During the fourth quarter of the game, Green went up to block Ant Man’s bucket, leaving both on the floor. Immediately, the refs called foul on Green and gave a two-point opportunity to Edwards. However, before heading to the free throw line, the duo had a heated exchange, leaving the audience in a frenzy. The mics caught the Dubs star’s words as he said, “Whatcha gonna do about it?!” several times at Edwards.

Even though refs didn’t make any call for that action, it did turn on an extra cylinder for the Ant Man. He dropped 33 points with 6 rebounds to push a dominating victory against the Dubs.

Similarly, Green’s aggression against Donovan Mitchell only backfired for the team.

During the third quarter of the Saturday night encounter, the Warriors put on the breaks on the Wolves’ offense as they only scored 16 points in that quarter. However, it got out of hand when Green was ejected in the later half of the third quarter. Refs called a double tech on Green for elbowing Mitchell and he went on to finish the game with 21 points, take the win home for his side.
