During the second quarter of Friday night’s marquee showdown between the Washington Wizards and the Golden State Warriors, a fight between two players of different weight classes in Bradley Beal and Draymond Green had Twitter-verse smoking yet again.
Both players were seen boxing each other out in the paint, when it suddenly got physical with Green and Beal seemingly engaging in a bad version of sumo wrestling. The fracas spilled over to stands in front of the Wizards’ bench.
Anyway, here are some of the reactions so far from Twitter.
Kelly oubre deserves to be ejected too, he swung his right hand at Klay

Upon further review by the officials of Twitter, it looked like Kelly Oubre is set to get a call from the NBA office, too.

Draymond Green is trending because Washington was that desperate to get him thrown out of the game. #DubNation pic.twitter.com/5APePtSyJ8

This will get to be talked about a lot in the coming hours and days, especially that this skirmish involved two championship contenders. Green and Beal should also be expecting fines to be levied on them by the NBA.
As for the rests of us, it’s added entertainment to the game itself.
