Draymond Green and Stephen Curry first got into an incident with Dillon Brooks, and then Green followed it up with an altercation with Tari Eason a few minutes later.

One more tech, and Green was gone. The officials went to the replay monitor, and came back with a strange ruling. Green was hit with a flagrant foul, but not a technical, for apparently using his left leg to "push Eason's face into the ground."

The refs kept Draymond Green in the game. And now the Warriors are one win away from advancing to the Western Conference semifinals. Green, Golden State’s talkative disruptor, forced a key miss from Alperen Sengun in the final 10 seconds to help the Warriors escape with a 109-106 home win against the Rockets in Game 4 after not receiving a second technical foul in the second quarter that would have disqualified him.
