Draymond Green was furious with how the officiating went on with the third game of the series. The Center got himself entangled with the officials and got in trouble as well for his actions. Overall, the whole game had the heat of a typical playoff game.

Green, at the beginning of the third quarter, was attempting to get a bucket driving to the paint but was denied two points by Alperen Sengun. The four-time NBA champion was furious with the official for not calling a foul. He ran the whole way to the half-court arguing with the official.

This resulted in Draymond Green getting a technical foul. To make matters worse, Green couldn’t calm himself even after the technical. The Big center has had such emotional outbursts causing the team with multiple technical fouls. However, moving further in the game, Green became more cautious with his emotions.

He put up a brilliant performance to guide his side to a crucial victory in the end. Golden State Warriors registered a 104-93 win against the Houston Rockets taking the playoffs series lead by 2-1. This win was more special for Golden State as it came without the presence of Jimmy Butler in the game.

Tensions Flare Between Draymond and Jalen

The match result got the better of the Houston Rockets players, as they were visibly frustrated even after the end. Jalen Green, while moving off from the court, had some words with Draymond Green. The Center didn’t hold back and verbally gave it to Jalen Green. Both had to be separated by the staff members on the sidelines.

As Jalen Green made his way to the tunnel, he kept looking back at Draymond Green and chipping back some words. D. Green mocked Jalen Green with a nail-polishing action. Jalen Green likes nail polishing art and has many TikTok videos going viral of his nail paint art.

Jalen Green, who had a poor game, tried to take his frustration away with his words and actions. He put up just 9 points, scoring just one three from 5 attempts. While Draymond Green put up 7 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.
