Furious Draymond Green Explodes at Warriors Teammate Mid-Game After Almost Giving Him a Concussion

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have qualified for the Conference semifinals comfortably. Each match became closer than ever, though, which is not reflected in the ultimate scoreline (4-1).

Steph Curry, Green and Klay Thompson led the troops admirably against the Denver Nuggets today. They beat the Nuggets 102-98 in Game 5 of the first round. Green will be happy with his all round contributions. He had two defensive rebounds, six assists and three blocks. His presence was very important throughout the game.

Green’s Incident with Otto Porter

Green also had a highlight worthy moment during the match. He tried to pass the ball, but suddenly, out of nowhere, Otto Porter Jr. blocked the pass. The ball hit the latter’s head. Porter apologized to Green for his mistake. Green got furious after his teammate blocked his pass.

Draymond Green and the Warriors

Draymond Green was very active today with his actions and words. He once again mixed things up with his Denver Nuggets counterpart, Aaron Gordon. They were in it since the first quarter of the fourth game and now; they are right back at it again. Unlike the Game 4 altercation, which resulted in technical fouls for both players. Only Gordon was penalized in the Game 5 tiff, ostensibly for dropping the ball on Green. The Warriors star was on the ground after Gordon committed an offensive foul by bowling Green over.

After the ball was dropped on Green, the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year did several things in retaliation that somehow did not land him a technical foul of his own. While on the ground, Green attempted to grab one of Gordon’s legs before getting stopped by an official. After Steph Curry’s free throw, Green pursued Gordon and gently bumped into him from behind, once again requiring an official to separate the two. Even during the technical free throw, Gordon started calling Green some pretty rude words.

He also called out the referee from the match while he was on the bench. In the 2nd quarter, Nuggets? rookie Bones Hyland was driving to the hoop, and ended up kneeing Otto Porter Jr in the groin area. Hyland got away with it, and instead got free throws, as Porter Jr was called for a blocking foul. This did not sit right with Draymond Green. He protested saying he got suspended from the Finals for a lighter mistake.

So was Green right to get angry at Otto Porter? Discuss it in the comments below.
