“Does This on Purpose”: Trouble Looms Around Draymond Green and the Warriors as Heated On-Court Moment Sends NBA Fans Into a Meltdown

The Golden State Warriors are currently under immense pressure to win all the upcoming games to seal a playoff spot. The defending champions are swinging in and out of the playoffs’ qualification because of the increased competition for the last three spots. Subsequently, the players are reflecting the pressure on their performances, especially Draymond Green, as he was involved in back-to-back heated moments with the New Orleans Pelicans players. Moreover, the Dubs star could land in serious trouble for his actions. 

The Dubs moved up to the 6th seed in the Western Conference after the win over the Pelicans with a 40-37 record. Notably, nine teams are in contention for the last three playoff spots. However, the pressure got the better of the Dubs, as the team continues to give away a lot of turnovers lately. Importantly, the Splash Brothers haven’t been in their groove during crucial moments. Green’s actions could have major ramifications on the whole team.

In the process, Green committed a defensive and an offensive foul on back-to-back possessions. Notably, the Dubs star engaged in a verbal altercation on both occasions. On the first occasion, Green bumped into the Pelicans’ Brandon Ingram when he attempted a layup. The referees called a flagrant foul on Green after the review. 

On the second occasion, Green was called for an offensive foul while attempting a layup. In the process, Green pushed down Herb Jones and rested his legs on Jones’ head for a brief moment.
