OAKLAND — As if Draymond Green didn’t annoy enough the New Orleans Pelicans enough Tuesday night, the referees got under their skin, too.
“Free throws, 59-20,” Pelicans forward Solomon Hill just happened to shout into the crowd of reporters interviewing teammate Ian Clark.
That disparity represents the running total of foul shots through two games of this Western Conference Semifinal series, both Warriors victories, and the Pelicans aren’t happy about it.
They’re grumbling between the lines — as to avoid the fines — but in the New Orleans locker room, they are keenly aware of the whistle count.
