Draymond Green and Anthony Davis saw their fair share of playoff tussle, getting tangled up during play and unable to get back in transition in a Twister-like moment right in front of the officials during Game 2 between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans.
Both players were assessed a double foul upon the act, which TNT analyst Chris Webber described as a cop-out in a referee's way of disciplining players.

Green's impact is what makes Anthony Davis hit the floor to begin with, but their consequent exchange could be merely a matter of both rushing to get up the court again.
Davis has been closely guarded by the shorter Green throughout the entire series, and it stands to no surprise to see him making this battle as physical as possible, staying attached at all times.
Both players played over 40 minutes and piled up fouls during this Game 2, though Davis had a much-improved game with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and three blocks in a 121-116 Game 2 loss. Still, there is no denying that Green, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, made the Pelicans' All-Star bleed for his buckets.
It's almost impossible to stop a player of Davis' caliber, but his defender can always make him work extra hard for his production.
