Green picked up a technical, a flagrant and 5 personal fouls but was on the court when it mattered most in the Warriors’ Game 4 win.

One more tech, and Green was gone. The officials went to the replay monitor, and came back with a strange ruling. Green was hit with a flagrant foul, but not a technical, for apparently using his left leg to "push Eason's face into the ground."

“He’s the best defender I’ve ever seen in my life. He rises to the occasion,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “On top of being a great defender, he’s an incredible competitor. We’ve seen it. I’ve seen it for 11 years. Game on the line, Draymond making a stop. It’s like having Steph Curry take the shot.”
