The Golden State Warriors cruised to a 19-point win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night, with Draymond Green playing a key part on both ends of the floor. By no surprise, he got in a scuffle, this time with Jaylen Brown. Green fouled the Celtics star late in the second quarter on a contested three-pointer as they proceeded to get into a dust-up on the court after the call.
Brown appeared to shove Draymond, but the Warriors veteran also tried to pants his opponent. They ultimately got into an argument and had to be separated. There was a chance Green could get ejected but the forward revealed post-game that he was never worried about that because he's earned “differential treatment.”
“This is the NBA Finals,” Green said on the broadcast. “I wear my badge of honor. It’s not that I’m saying they necessarily treat me different. I’ve earned differential treatment. I enjoy that; I embrace that. But I’m never going to let someone stand over me. I’m a man first. My kids are in the stands. I don’t play like those types of games. Whatever happens at that point happens.”
The Warriors star does have a point. He's been in the league for a hot minute and the officials know the way he plays. However, Draymond is also an instigator and has his fair share of arguments with referees. Nevertheless, his gritty style of play worked on Sunday, finished with nine points, five rebounds, and seven assists while playing some tremendous defense on numerous possessions.
