The Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans had played down to the wire in their Tuesday night matchup.

With about six seconds left, the ball was given to Anthony Davis on an isolation play against Draymond Green. The Warriors forward took a gamble, but it didn't involve kicking this time.

When Davis decided to make his move, Green held him and swiped the ball out of his hands as he prepared for a shot. Green recovered the loose ball as Davis took up his case furiously with the nearest official.

He may have been correct about being fouled, but the referees were content with letting the players decide the game.

After the match, Green explained to reporters why he took a chance at potentially fouling Davis and losing the game.

The steal ultimately decided the outcome, and Green is convinced there was no foul.
