G olden State did what they needed to do when the series headed to San Francisco, taking the 2-1 series lead over the Houston Rockets in large part due to Steph Curry’s 36-point

With the Warriors holding a one-point lead in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, Green smothered Rockets big man Alperen Sengun's shot in the lane. The Warriors gathered the rebound and went on to win 109-106, though the game was not without controversy.

Green was already involved in several on-court tussles during Game 2 in Houston, prompting Rockets fans to chant obscenities at him. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted that Green can be an "instigator" on the court but called out fans for their choice language.
