Steve Kerr: Officials admit Draymond Green's ejection for yelling at James Wiseman was mistake

SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was mistakenly ejected from Thursday night's 119-104 loss to the New York Knicks after appearing to yell at rookie teammate James Wiseman.

Coach Steve Kerr said after the game that Ben Taylor -- the game's crew chief -- admitted at halftime that second-year official John Butler thought Green was yelling at him and made a mistake by giving the forward his second technical foul.

Green, who picked up his first technical of the game with 4 minutes, 2 seconds left in the first quarter after arguing too long with the officials, received his second with 1:04 left in the second quarter after turning the ball over on a pass directed to Wiseman.
