Warriors forward Draymond Green was sent off late in the first half of Thursday night’s game against the Knicks.
With 1:04 left in the second quarter and Golden State 60-55, Green (30) looked like center James Wiseman when he became a technical foul. It was his second of the match, which led to his immediate expulsion.
When Green walked to the sidelines, the Warriors coaches disputed the call, trying to point out that Green had spoken to Wiseman – not a referee.
Draymond is evicted because he yelled at James …. his own teammate, man, let’s do better

With Green out now, Golden State needs to take care of his defensive intensity, playing ability and prescriptions on the court. In 17 minutes before he was thrown away, Green had three points and eight assists.
At halftime, the Warriors trailed the Knicks 63-57.
