Draymond Green couldn’t control his emotions and cost his team the game vs the Hornets on Saturday night.
With the Warriors up two points and nine seconds left to go in the game, Green picked up two technical fouls for arguing with the refs because he felt the Hornets were unjustly allowed to call timeout after a jump ball.

After the game Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticized his star player for costing his team the game.
Kerr on Draymond: "He crossed the line. … We know we wouldn't be the team we are without him. But that doesn't give him permission to cross the line."
