The Golden State Warriors have shown their experience and come back from an 0-2 deficit to lead the series 3-2. Stephen Curry and the rest of the squad made sure to keep their playoff hopes alive and not give in to the lead the Sacramento Kings had, along with all the drama going on around Draymond Green and Domantas Sabonis. Now, after the Game 5 win, Green opened up about the slander he had to face from Kings fans after his stomp in Game 2.

Draymond Green was suspended after stepping on the chest of Domantas Sabonis during Game 2. This led to his absence in Game 3, but the Warriors took care of business nonetheless. However, that did not mean that Kings fans were over the incident.

To that, Green said, ?I saw the ‘Draymond is a B-word’ T-shirt…boy. Yeah, I saw it. And you know, thank you., It is what it is. I was locked in last night. To be quite honest with you, I may be heard the boos twice. I was just in the zone. Like locked in on the task at hand, and knew what needed to be done and I knew the focus I needed to have.”

“So, I didn’t really hear much of it. And when you find that zone, it’s a beautiful space to be in, in basketball, where you just get lost in the arena. Like lost in the game. Wow. It’s a fun game,? added Green.
