NBA fans didn’t hold themselves back and brutally slammed Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green after he committed five fouls before half-time against the Houston Rockets. On Monday, April 28, the Dubs hosted their second-seeded counterparts for Game 4 of the first-round NBA Playoffs 2025 series at Chase Center.

Green, the veteran power forward is not only popular for his on-court play but also his antics that have time and again kept him in the headlines. The 35-year-old nearly avoided an ejection in the first half after receiving a technical foul for an altercation with Dillon Brooks in the second quarter. He found himself in another controversy after he seemingly hit Tari Eason in the head. Both players got engaged into a heated argument, and had to be separated by the officials.

After Eason grabbed the ball from Green, both players dove on the court, with the latter rolling over on Eason and kicking his leg. Not only this, but Green even grabbed Eason’s jersey. However, after the review, the referees determined the kick to be unintentional. The four-time NBA Champion received a flagrant-1. Had he received a flagrant-2 or another technical foul, Green would have been kicked out of the game.

Before both teams headed into halftime, Green had received a flagrant, one technical and three personal fouls as well.
