SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Draymond Green was ''wrong'' and ''took it too far'' when he put Minnesota's Rudy Gobert in a headlock, agreeing that the five-game suspension handed down by the NBA was deserved.
''Draymond was wrong,'' Kerr said Thursday before the Warriors' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. ''He knows that. It's a bad look. The five games is deserved.''
The NBA cited Green's '' history of unsportsmanlike acts '' in determining the length.
The altercation occurred before two minutes had elapsed in the first quarter on Tuesday, when Golden State's Klay Thompson and Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels got in a shoving match near midcourt following a Timberwolves possession.
