The Golden State Warriors are one step away from entering the Conference Finals. The Memphis Grizzlies have been putting up a good fight against the Warriors, trying to hold on without Ja Morant. While Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are irreplaceable for the team, one cannot deny the team’s dependency on Draymond Green.
Green’s presence on the court seems to be the make it or break it for GSW. They have suffered when he was injured, sometimes unable to hold the defense together. Overall, Green’s ejection from the game ? or even the half ? can cost the team gravely.

Unfortunately, as a result of Green’s temperament, the three-time NBA Champion has had to deal with his fair share of technicals. Of course, this also includes arguing with the officials at the game.
Did the Warriors fan manage to stop Draymond Green?
According to this new video shared online, even fans are emotionally charged over Green receiving a technical from the referees. Everyone is aware of the team’s possible fate without Green, which usually translates into a loss.
While Green argued on his own, a lady from courtside ended up prompting him to stop. If the situation escalated, it could have been a problem.
Furthermore, the Grizzlies maintained a lead right up until the final quarter. They were without Morant, who watched from the sidelines. Green finished the game with two points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. He came through for the Warriors with some timely defensive plays, which helped Curry secure the lead.

The team has proved their worth this year and seems determined for a deeper playoff run. The Warriors, however, have performed exceptionally. With the Splash Brothers back in action, there is nothing stopping the team.
