The Golden State Warriors are coming off one of their best offensive performances of the 2017-18 NBA season with their exciting 141-128 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Perhaps even more impressive is that they managed to do it without superstar forward Draymond Green after he was ejected in the first half for receiving his second technical foul.

It goes without saying that both of the techs were highly questionable on account of the refs. As a result, Green decided not to speak with the media following the game, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes:

“Nah, I’m going to save my money.”

Green skipping out on the press conference should come as no surprise. One could only imagine the fine he would have accrued for his likely critiques of the officiating crew, however, it was not the only time Green would opt not to speak on the night.

After drawing his second tech for the “wave,” Green did not say a word to the refs on his way to the locker room. Needless to say, he may have saved himself a nice chunk of change for his actions — or lack thereof. Fortunately, he managed to make the most of his limited 10 minutes by hitting his only three-point attempt while dishing out five assists in the Warriors' win.
