The Golden State Warriors were well on their way to a Game 1 victory when a big scuffle broke out between Draymond Green, Tristan Thompson and other members of both teams.
It was pretty clear that something was said between the two guys that prompted both guys to get pretty upset, and now it appears we may know what did.

In the video that ABC picked up, it appears that Green tells Steve Kerr “they called him a f******.” Green was pointing at Jarron Collins who is an assistant coach for the Warriors.
His twin brother Jason, was the first active NBA player to come out as gay after the 2013 season. The league is still looking into if Tristan Thompson will be suspended for his role in the altercation, but if it turns out that he did say something along those lines, it will probably be more than a game suspension for the Cavs big man. After the game, Thompson was upset with the Warriors attempting a shot with a few seconds on the clock.
“Maybe he was trying to increase his points per game. I don’t know,” the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward said in the locker room as heard in a video obtained by Sports Illustrated. “That was some bulls–t but I just needed to contest.”
If Thompson is able to play in Game 2, the matchup to watch will between Green and Thompson and things could get heated pretty early.
Green is known as a player who can get into others heads, and it looks like he did a good job of it in Game 1.
