A lot was on the line between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their second-round matchup on Saturday night. Emotions were running high, and Draymond Green showed exactly why people say that he plays with his heart on the sleeve.
Toward the end of the first half, Green threw a bit of a temper tantrum after a rather contentious decision by Warriors teammate Stephen Curry. Steph held on to the ball a bit too much, and it resulted in Green being called for an illegal screen. Dray wasn't too happy about it and decided to confront Curry about it as they made their way on the bench (h/t Anthony Slater of The Athletic):
Draymond Green upset with Steph Curry at the end of the half. Curry danced with the ball up top and it ends up drawing Draymond into a second illegal screen. Threw a seat cushion and went to locker room as Ja Morant hit halfcourter. Eleventh Memphis 3, but Warriors still up 7.

Green even threw a seat cushion in frustration and rushed to the locker room even ahead of his teammates.
There's not too much to make out of this, though. This is just a typical incident between two teammates who know each other extremely well. Green just aired out his frustration and there's not much more than that. I'm pretty sure the pair settled this issue immediately and that this water under the bridge already.
