In a high-stakes matchup, tensions flared between Draymond Green and Rockets center Alperen Sengun during the Warriors' 106-96 loss. Green's physicality led to altercations, including a technical foul for elbowing Sengun. Despite the referees' warnings, Green maintained his aggressive style, valuing his position despite giving up size. Sengun claimed that the physical encounters motivated Houston to play harder, seeing it as a pivotal moment in the game. Warriors coach Steve Kerr supported Green's fiery approach, emphasizing its role in the team's success, while highlighting Green's notorious history of technical fouls and physical play.
I’m not going to stop because the referee says stop, and give up position, Green said. I already give up six inches and 50 pounds.
I think that was the moment we won the game, Sengun told media. I think they were trying to scare us to play softer.
I love Draymond's fire, Kerr said. That's a reason we have four banners up there, and we wouldn't have any without Draymond.
Green has a long history of physical play and fouls of all kinds.
