Draymond Green entered Game 2 of the NBA Finals wanting to play something other than basketball, and the Boston Celtics obliged, losing themselves among a bevy of controversial calls and careless turnovers.
The Golden State Warriors forward bodied Jayson Tatum, wrestled Grant Williams, baited Jaylen Brown and mauled Al Horford. Green was nearly ejected in the final minute before halftime. Instead of responding with aggression around the basket, Boston laid down in an embarrassing third-quarter effort and a 107-88 loss.
"They raised their [intensity], and we were looking around expecting for somebody to bail us out, and on their home floor that's not going to happen," Brown said.
