In one of the most intense matchups in the second round of the playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies take on the Golden State Warriors. 

During game 2 of the 7 match series, Grizzlies star Xavier Tillman hit Draymond Green directly in the eye. This led to booing from the Memphis crowd.

However, Draymond Green gave them a taste of their own medicine. He responded by flipping the fans. Interestingly enough, the fans cheered Draymond while he showed them the finger. This came because the fans were sure of the league fining Draymond.

Talking about the incident, Draymond held nothing back. He said, “If you are going to boo somebody who just got elbowed to the eye or face running on blood, you should get flipped off.”

Draymond added, “If they gonna be that nasty, I can be nasty too. I’m assuming the cheers were because they know I’ll get fined. Great, I make $25 million dollars a year, I should be just fine.”

Safe to say, Green has been the centerpiece of the matchups so far. This is not the first time Draymond has faced the wrath of the officials.

The officials ejected Green during Game 1 of the series after a flagrant 2 foul during the second quarter of the Warriors’ 117-116 over Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.
