The referee blew Green just three minutes after fouling Rockets guard Jalen Green. The four-time NBA champion tried to set up the screen for Steph Curry when he mixed with the Rockets green.

The video replay seems to show the Warriors star’s head contact with Green as he tries to figure it out from the Rockets’ defender. Golden State Green defended the referee after hearing the whistle, but officials quickly assessed the Warriors' advance with an offensive foul.

After review, officials determined that the offensive foul needs to be changed to a blatant foul.

The call granted the 23-year-old Rockets Star to a foul route, where he made two free throw attempts. Houston also acquired the next property.

The two players also had a fierce exchange earlier in the series. Moments after the Warriors won 104-93 in Game 3, Draymond seemed to laugh at Jaren. Other fighters and Rockets players eventually intervened.

Draymond finished the game with 7 points and scored 0-4 from the three-pointer. Houston's Green noted that the long-time Warriors star was underperforming in the post-match press conference.

“Just talk,” Jalen Green refers to the intense moment. “He really can’t do anything else, so talking is his only way.”

Draymond was also evaluated as a blatant foul in Game 4 of the series as he rolled on Tari Eason and seemed to have the rockets forward.

The 7th will be played in Houston on Sunday night.
