Warriors instant analysis: Jimmy Butler outmuscles Knicks in chippy victory
"Within a single 16-second stretch early in the fourth quarter of Golden State's 126-113 victory, the officials initiated three separate reviews for possible flagrant fouls. Draymond Green earned his second flagrant of the season when review showed he grabbed Karl-Anthony Towns' ankle on a drive, while Brandin Podziemski and Towns avoided the harsh infraction.

Moses Moody made seven 3-pointers to score 21, and Podziemski threw in 19 points of the bench. Towns scored 17 and grabbed 20 rebounds for New York, while Mikal Bridges scored 21 and OG Anunoby scored 25."
