Draymond Green taunted former teammate Klay Thompson after a technical foul

The Dallas Mavericks travelled to San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriors with their front court missing. All of their centers not playing though would not be a major problem against the home team whose tallest center was Draymond Green at just 6′ 6′.

Therefore, it was a battle of scoring, and the Warriors jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter showing their strength in numbers. Then early in the second quarter, with the Mavericks trailing in double digits, Klay Thompson was issued a technical foul.

It was not clear why he was penalized but something funny happened soon after. When the Mavericks star walked over to the foul issuing referee, his former teammate Draymond Green walked up behind him. Game commentators claimed the Warriors star was yelling ‘yes’ at his former teammate.

Klay Thompson kept quiet, but knowing the situation could take a turn for the worse, his teammate Kyrie Irving stepped in. The NBA Champion stopped Draymond Green from moving towards Thompson as he continued to try and push his former teammate into a mistake.

The Michigan native is one of the smartest players in the league and knows how to exploit any situation. Irving knows Green was trying to push Thompson over the edge. Playing in his former place of work against a crowd that once cheered for him was the perfect setup. But Thompson kept his cool for the rest of the game.

Draymond Green humiliates Mavs in blowout game

Klay Thompson wisely kept quiet and went about playing the game. But even he knew it was over as his Dallas Mavericks could not reduce the deficit in the third quarter. Then his former teammate Steph Curry embarrassed his current teammate PJ Washington late in that quarter and the Mavericks were done.

Curry took to the bench after that statement shot and never returned to the floor. In the remaining fifteen minutes, he and his teammates joked around on the sidelines. But the biggest joke was in the hands of Draymond Green. The former defensive player of the year hit the Mavs with the second ‘night night’ of the game.

After that, he took a step further when he replicated the recently famous ‘belt to a**’ celebration. Players bring this celebration out when they blow their opponents out. Since this was the perfect situation, Green did not hesitate to show his opponents what he and his teammates did to them.

Even though the bench players played much of the fourth quarter, the Golden State Warriors won the game 126-102. That 24-point drubbing has been their worst loss in the last eight games. This one will be demoralizing as it was after a solid 5-1 winning run.
