The Athletic‘s Anthony Slater first reported the news.
Draymond Green's technical last night was rescinded, I'm told. So he's back at three for the playoffs, four away from a suspension.

A player is suspended for the following game after he picks up his seventh playoff technical. Green’s count stays at three, and Kevin Durant has remained at two, both of which he picked up in the playoff opener.
After the Warriors’ 115-109 win over the Rockets in Game 2, extending their series lead to 2-0, Green said he wasn’t worried about the technical. He also praised the officials for calling a solid game after they were widely criticized post-Game 1.
“It’s kind of embarrassing for the game of basketball, how much has been talked about fouls and officiating,” Green said. “What about beating your man and stopping your man? No one has talked anything about schemes the last few days. It’s all been about foul calls. I think both teams were just locked in on coming out and playing the game to the best of their ability, and you have to give credit to both clubs.””
