Draymond Green had a little trouble early Monday evening at the Chase Center.
Although he managed to avoid an ejection in the first half of the match 4 match of Golden State Warriors with the Houston Rockets, he barely did it after being consecutive altercations.

Things died in the first half after Green, Stephen Curry and Dillon Brooks entered an incident that felt that it was a few games in preparation.
After Green set a hard screen on Amen Thompson, Brooks checked the curry and sent it to the ground. Curry, taunting a little, went up two fingers on Brooks after being called for a fault. Brooks then tried to grab the ball from Curry's hands, which sparked the incident and sent a lot of people rushing to try to break everything.
In the end, Curry, Green and Brooks were all struck by technical faults.
Then a few minutes later, Green entered another altercation with Tari Eason. Green fell to the top of Easton and pierced it directly into the head with his feet after they fight for a loose bullet – which triggered another, although less severe, dusted. Green briefly held the Eason pass and then seemed to lift it by the leg, but the two were successfully separated.

Green was struck by a blatant fault there, which allowed him to avoid automatic ejection. Eason was also struck by a technical fault.
