With the Oklahoma City Thunder using two dominating performances in Games 3 and 4, they now have a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. One subplot of the series has been the play of Draymond Green, who kicked Steven Adams two games in a row, the second of which resulted in what was eventually elevated to a flagrant-2 foul.
In Game 4 of the series, Green was again seen kicking a Thunder player, although in this game it was Enes Kanter, not Adams. However, Green was also the recipient of a kick in Game 4:
Russell Westbrook seems to shoot out his legs after his shot attempt to get Green to fall down with him. This is exactly the type of play that Green, and coach Steve Kerr, accused Westbrook of doing after Green's incident with Adams.
With all the kicking happening this series, only one thing is certain: playoff basketball is physical basketball.
