Green had fouled out of Game 3 and was seen saying, "5.5. I know what y’all doing" about referees and the game's point spread.

"Draymond Green is tied to Steph Curry. They built this roster to prop up and maximize Steph Curry, and have a lot of players that play well with him," Slater said. "But when he's out, they can't necessarily toggle up their offensive production to a degree."

Wolves fans still resent the way Butler left the franchise and how Green has trash-talked them. Expect vitriol when this series tips off.

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ organization says there is an investigation ongoing involving a spectator who is accused of “making racially charged comments” toward Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green during Minnesota’s Game 2 win in the second round of the NBA playoffs,

The Timberwolves said a fan was ejected from Thursday night's win over the Golden State Warriors due to "an incident involving Draymond Green," and another fan left of his own accord after making "racially charged comments" to Green.

Green hasn't shied away from speaking his mind, but his brief response might indicate that he's more focused on trying to lead Golden State past Minnesota, especially without the 37-year-old Curry. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said they will give an update on the two-time MVP's status for Game 5 on game day.

Draymond Green emphasized the importance of Steph Curry taking his time to recover fully, stressing that rushing back could risk further injury.

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 102-97, on Saturday night. They now find themselves down 2-1 in the NBA Playoff series.
