Green’s latest dustup came Friday night in Game 6 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Rockets, when Green was handed a Flagrant 1 foul after hitting Jalen Green in the head a little more than four minutes into Houston’s 115-107 victory.

Unlike the Rockets, the Warriors have been in this situation before. They know how to win closeout games, both on the home floor and in front of a hostile crowd. When speaking to the media on Friday, May 2, Draymond Green pinpointed the Warriors' hustle and effort plays as a potential swing factor.

Green has been with the Warriors since 2012. He has since helped lead Golden State to four NBA titles while being named the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year, a two-time All-NBA player and a four-time All-Star. Throughout the season, Green has averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.
