Draymond Green was assessed his fifth technical fault in his ninth eliminatory match this year – two others would justify an automatic suspension.
In the second quarter, Green sank Naz Reid after Reid has just prevailed.
Green was suspended indefinitely last season for his buffoonemeries on the ground which were preparing since the playoffs, in particular by trampling Sabonis Domantas. He also put Rudy Gobert in a strangulation and struck Jusuf Nurkic with an open hand, which led to the prolonged suspension.

However, after the match, Green seemed to suggest that he believes that there is a “program” against him that he is an “angry black man”.
“Looks like the angry black man. I am not an angry black man. I am a very successful and educated black man with a big family, and I am super in basketball and great in what I do,” he said.
“The agenda to try to continue to make me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m fed up. It’s ridiculous.”
In the last season of the Warriors, Green admitted that he was “embarrassed” that he “made too much the pout” during a home match in which they lost this forced a match 7. He said that he had “heart to Heurt” with “people I trust the most” after this match.

Head coach Steve Kerr said that Green’s actions that have led to his technology are “in the habit”.
“It’s just a habit that he has when someone will do it angry, and he is intelligent,” said Kerr. “So, I think Reid was reached and at hand, Draymond has somehow passed the fault. But he has a kind of arm of arms to try to make sure that the referee sees him, and he contacted, and that is what led to technology.”
“It’s part of Draymond,” added Kerr. “It is the same thing that makes him such a competitor and a winner, sometimes puts him above, and we know it, and it is our work to try to help him stay ready, to stay composed. But the competition is so significant for him that occasionally, he goes through the line.”
Golden State lost the match, 117-93, while Stephen Curry faces an injury to the hamstrings. Julius Randle raised 24 points and 11 assists, and Anthony Edwards and Nickeil Alexander-Walker each finished with 20 points.

The Warriors obtained their lowest score in the first quarter (15) in the playoffs since match 6 of the 2016 NBA final, according to Sportradar, when they had 11 in a defeat against Cleveland. In these finals, Green missed match 5 due to a suspension of technical faults, which launched Cleveland’s return of the 3-1 drop in the series.
Wolves and Warriors match 3 is back in the Bay region on Saturday evening.
