A scuffle resembling a fight of sorts broke out between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal Friday night before halftime.
Here is a look at the altercation as it happened live:
The two get into it in the paint and it escalated and never ended. Right in front of the Wizards bench, neither player backed down and that was enough for both to get ejected.
The two were getting chippy at points leading up to this moment and it clearly got to the point where neither player could control their emotions.
Green has a reputation for being a trash-talker and player that isn't one to back down from confrontation. Beal doesn't exactly have that reputation but clearly Green got under his skin enough. The loss of Beal may be more impactful for a Wizards team that played most of the first half with a comfortable lead.
The frustration on Green's end may come from the early struggles the Warriors have had where they haven't been their usual selves in the first few weeks of the season. Of course, a stacked Warriors team should be able to survive the absence of Green, but what he brings in terms of chemistry and defense will still be tough to make up tonight.
It will be interesting to see if the league takes any further action with the incident and possibly hands out suspensions for the two.
