The finish to the game was all set to be a dramatic conclusion but some issues forced a 23-minute delay to the final moments of the game. The Warriors ended up winning the game with a final score of 128-121. However, Draymond Green’s illegal screen on Bron became the talk of the night.

The video of the incident is making rounds on the internet and in the video we can see the disgusting screen Green provided. The Warriors ace Stephen Curry driver to make a layup breaking past Austin Reaves. Curry would have faced King James next if Draymond had not provided a screen. Curry ended up scoring the basket but the quality of the screen by Green made everyone in the arena question its legitimacy. Draymond can be seen pushing LeBron James and holding him while Curry made the shot.

Draymond should not be allowed in the NBA” expressing his opinion of not allowing the Warriors star to play in the league because of the over-aggressive nature he brings to the game.

Another fan commented, “Illegal screen by Draymond Green.” He kept it simple and called out the screen to be illegal. The screen provided by Green was a moving screen which is not a legal play to make.

Another fan commented, “Warriors always get away with illegal screens” casting the blame onto the whole squad instead of Draymond alone.
