Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals featured a whole lot of confusion — and an absolute mess — thanks to the officiating crew.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was called for a technical foul in the first quarter after committing a foul on Cleveland’s Iman Shumpert. Then, just over halfway through the third quarter, Green was whistled for another technical after being called for a foul against the Cavaliers’ Kevin Love.
Yet Green lingered on the court as fans, the announcer crew and both teams tried to figure out what was going on. After several minutes, the broadcast announced that the first technical foul was in fact on Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who’d leaped off the bench in protest of the foul committed against Shumpert as well.
