Golden State Warriors News

After Game 4, a reporter asked Stephen Curry about a squat-like motion he apparently made during Steve Kerr and Draymond Green’s incident with the officials in the first half. Curry and Kevin Durant were not amused by the question, and got a little upset with the reporter in the meantime.

The NBA released an interview transcript with the two referees involved in Game 4’s technical foul confusion that left most thinking Draymond Green was ejected even though he was not.

The Warriors entered Game 4 of the NBA Finals with a chance to become the first team in NBA history to finish 16-0 in the postseason. The Cavaliers, however, had other plans. LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love combined for 94 points as the Cavs cruised to a 137-116 win on Friday night, forcing a Game 5 in Oakland on Monday.

With that said, the Warriors did not say anything Friday postgame that will levy a $25,000 fines. They didn’t want to be whiners. They are wearing this loss on the chin, and apparently had a very productive conversation after the loss before reporters infiltrated the premises.

After a frustrating Game 4 loss in which he was initially ejected before being allowed to stay in the game, Draymond Green held a lively press session with reporters in the locker room, and had some choice words Cleveland residents.

A fan sitting court side, with close ties to LeBron James according to ESPN, was tossed by security during the third quarter, after getting into a verbal altercation with Matt Barnes.

The champagne on ice will have to be saved for Monday, where Game 5 will convene back at Oracle Arena. The Warriors will have to play an entirely different game if they expect to close out the NBA Finals.

To say the refs have had a rough Game 4 would be an understatement.

Draymond Green was nearly tossed out of Game 4 of the NBA Finals for the second year in a row. After receiving a technical foul in the middle of the third quarter, Mike Breen, Marc Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and all of America was ready to watch Draymond walk dejectedly off the court. It was his seond technical of the game after he struck Iman Shumpert in the face in the first half.

Midway through the third quarter Kevin Durant drove hard to the rack and got smacked in the head by Kevin Love. The officials called the foul, but Kevin Durant appeared to be asking for a flagrant foul to be called.
