The Golden State Warriors are doing everything they can tonight to avoid going down 2-0 to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals and they almost lost one of their key players in the second quarter when Draymond Green came close to getting his second technical foul.
This all happened just before halftime when Green fouled Boston’s Jaylen Brown on a 3-point attempt. The two then got tangled up a bit on the ground with Green keeping his feet over Brown for what looked like a second too long and then the two had some words.
The refs reviewed the play and could have given both players a technical foul. Green got a technical earlier in the game so that one would have sent him to the locker room.
Here was the play:

Normally that would be a double technical but I think the refs did the right thing there.
Twitter had mixed reactions.
