Draymond Green takes accountability for costly mistake
The Golden State Warriors faced the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night in a thrilling match. Both teams gave each other tough competition but the Dubs had an upper hand and were the favorites to win the match with a 3-point lead in the final moments of the game. However, a foul by Draymond Green on Chet Holmgren changed the game.
With only eight seconds left on the clock, Chet got an opportunity to shoot a 3-pointer but was blocked by Draymond. The referee called a foul on that block and awarded three free throws. The Thunder’s rookie made all three points and forced the game to overtime where the Dubs lost control of the game and ultimately lost.
In a post-game interview, Draymond Green took accountability for that mistake and expressed his thoughts on the incident.
“So I was very hypersensitive to it like I got a foul, you do not want them to get a 3. I thought I got him before he started his motion upward… I saw a replay, too, and it was close. Regardless of whether I did or did not do it, if it was close, they were going to go with a call on the floor.”
“The call on the floor is three shots … I f****d that off. That is a mistake that a young guy should make, not a guy in his twelfth year.“
