Golden State’s Draymond Green’s nerve failed again as he choked out Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert in the NBA round of the night.
The most talked about situation in the basketball NBA round was seen in the match between Golden State and Minnesota, when less than two minutes into the game, a fight broke out in a 0-0 situation. The Warriors Klay Thompson and the Timberwolves Jaden McDaniels drifted into a scuffle in the middle area, which was cleared by several players, among the first ones from Minnesota Rudy Gobert.
The 33-year-old star of the Warriors Draymond Green attacked the Frenchman Gobert from behind, strangling him by the neck. Green dragged Gobert along the floor several meters until the situation was calmed down.
Green, Thompson and McDaniels were each ejected from the game.
– It was simply the behavior of a clown. I’m proud of myself that I was bigger in the situation and I didn’t even need to put my hands on him, Gobert said after the game.
– I hope the league does what it needs in this situation. I personally went into the situation just to separate Thompson and McDaniels, nothing more. Fortunately, we won the game.
Four-time NBA champion and four-time All-Star Game Green has often been in the headlines before, as last year he punched his teammate in training Jordan Poole. In the spring, he was ejected from a playoff game against Sacramento when Green entered Domantas Sabonis on.
Minnesota eventually won the match 104–101. Golden State played the game without its superstar Stephen Curry’swho has complained about his knee and had an MRI scan to check his condition.
