Golden State Warriors fight at the end of the regular season to stay in positions Play-In and thus be able to sustain the illusion of being part of the postseason of the NBA. That is why it is unforgivable that Draymond Green got himself sent off in the first quarter of last night’s game against Orlando Magic and that’s why the tears of helplessness Stephen Curry after a new irresponsibility of his partner.

Not even four minutes into the game when, with 6-6 on the board, Green protested angrily to referee Ray Acosta after a foul called on Curry, until he was sent off for a double technical foul. Draymond lost his cool and continued protesting for several seconds before leaving the court, while his partner’s disappointment was evident.

Despite their expulsion, the Warriors, who are fighting with the Houston Rockets to retain tenth place in the West, the last one that gives access to the Play-In, managed to triumph in the Magic’s field. Andrew Wiggins was the leading scorer with 23 points and Curry contributed 17 points and ten assists.
