The NBA playoffs were already hot. But things got worse when he got into a confrontation with another player in Game 4. His confrontation on the court became so big that it created a stir in the entire NBA. The burning star of the Golden State Warriors got into two fights one after the other- first he got into a fight with Dillon Brooks and then got into a tussle with Tari Eason. But the first thing was that Drummond not only stayed in the match, but also proved to be the hero of the team in winning the game.
Game 4, which was played at the Chase Center in San Francisco, was full of tension from the moment it started. The already existing animosity between the teams could take a bigger form at any time. The first fight happened in the second quarter when Stephen Curry and Dillon Brooks got into a heated exchange. Trying to grab the ball – everything turned into an instant fight. Draymond Green also came in between, and they started their drama from there.
Draymond vs Eason: Fell on the ground, created a ruckus!
But the real commotion happened just a few minutes later, when Tari Eason snatched the ball from Draymond. Both players fell to the ground after snatching the ball – but what happened next shocked the entire NBA world. Green angrily rolled over Eason and dropped his jersey on his head. Then as Eason tried to get up, Drummond grabbed his jersey. Seeing all this, the referee called for an immediate review. Many thought that now Drummond would be out of the game, but surprisingly he only got a Flagrant-1 foul. If he had received a Flagrant-2 or another technical, he would have been eligible for automatic ejection.
NBA fans and commentators have given their opinions. Many believe that Drummond’s action was intentional. While some were saying that it was an accidental contact – as the referee also said. But the controversy still remained.
Amidst all the drama, the Warriors won the game 109-106. They now lead the series 3-1. Only one more win will take them to the Western Conference Semifinals. Drummond, who also faced the wrath of fans during the game, proved to be very valuable to his team – but his temper has once again become stronger. Let’s hope the upcoming match goes well.
Final Thoughts:
Draymond Green is an experienced and passionate player. There’s no doubt about that. But his “passion and anger” often gets him into trouble. Winning the game was important, and he played a role in winning it – but this incident has left another controversy over his image. Is his anger an asset or a threat to the Warriors? Only time will tell.
