Draymond Green went below the belt Sunday, and some believe he should be suspended for his actions. But the Golden State Warriors forward and the victim of his low blow already might have put the incident behind them.
Green was assessed a flagrant foul in Game 3 of the NBA’s Western Conference finals when he kicked Oklahoma City Thunder big man Steven Adams in a rather painful area. The dirty play started all sorts of bickering about whether Green’s act was intentional. Green, of course, insists it was an accident, and a video from UNINTERRUPTED shows he and Adams actually hashed it out after the game.
The video only captures a brief moment between the two, but Green and Adams certainly don’t look like two guys ready to go at each other’s throats.
It appears the same can’t be said for Green and Russell Westbrook, however. The Thunder guard said after the game he thought Green kicked Adams on purpose, which prompted this bold response from Green on Monday, via ESPN.com:
“Russell said I did it on purpose, but he’s part of the superstar group that started all this acting in the NBA. I didn’t. I sold the call.”
Westbrook quickly fired back.
Finger pointing aside, the Warriors certainly could use Green for Game 4. They suffered a 28-point blowout Sunday and now trail the Thunder two games to one, with a real possibility of dropping into 3-1 hole Tuesday in OKC.
