Just two minutes into the game, the altercation reignited when Draymond was whistled for an offensive foul on Friday’s game. In the heat of the moment, Draymond swung his left arm and struck Jalen on the back of the head. It caused Jalen to fall to the floor.

Initially, the referees called an offensive foul on Draymond. However, after reviewing the play, the officials determined the contact was excessive. The foul was upgraded to a flagrant, and it led to two free throws for Jalen Green.
This is not the first time Draymond has clashed with Jalen in this series. The Warriors’ defensive star previously mocked Jalen for painting his fingernails during Game 3.

“If Warriors advance, the Draymond Green flagrant point total could become a topic. He’s now accumulated two in this series. Four in the playoffs triggers a one-game suspension,” Slater reported.
The Warriors currently hold a 3-2 lead over the Rockets and are looking to seal the series at home. With each game becoming increasingly physical and emotional, Golden State is relying on Draymond’s leadership, especially on the defensive end. Amid the controversy, Draymond climbed to 15th on the all-time playoff assists leaderboard during Friday’s game.
