The Golden State Warriors fought off the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, earning a 117-116 win despite losing Draymond Green to a questionable first-half ejection. After the win, Green was waiting by the Warriors' tunnel entrance to greet his teammates with a fierce dap up and hug. When Stephen Curry came through, an excited Green could be seen uttering some NSFW comments to the star point guard while the two celebrated the comeback win.

Green was fired up after the Warriors' win. After all, he'd likely been particularly worried about the outcome due to his ejection. Green was ejected just before halftime after a questionable ruling from the officials following a hard foul on Brandon Clarke, during which Green grabbed the Grizzlies forward's jersey. The decision to eject Green was met with a mix of disbelief and rage from the Warriors, and Green himself had a wild reaction to the official's ruling of a flagrant 2 foul.

It seems Curry must have told Draymond that he and the rest of the Warriors would hold it down in his absence, based on Green's comments to the star point guard. They did just that in what was a wild finish, fending off the Grizzlies to earn a Game 1 win on the road.

Curry put up 24 points for the Warriors in the win, going 5-for-12 from 3-point range including a go-ahead deep ball late in the fourth quarter. Prior to his ejection, Green had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block, though he'd turned the ball over 5 times.
