As a good troll, Stephen Curry voluntarily takes a technical fault to make fun of the refereeing

Standing next to the Warriors bench, Draymond Green has arms raised, frozen for several seconds. His misunderstanding is total. A referee has just sanctioned him with a technical fault. Pattern ? To have celebrated a lay-up from Jordan Poole, who had just restored the Californians’ lead to more than 20 points against Wolves one minute from the end, by mimicking his teammate’s gesture.

The concern is that the inside, replacing at this point in the match, briefly entered the field, hopping in celebration. Even if he did not disturb the game, insofar as no protagonist on the field was nearby, the official did not hesitate to whistle…

It’s crazy. I probably received four techniques this year in a somewhat questionable way. They told me I was on the baseline but I just thought I was in the corner. So I do not know. But it sucks “Regrets the interior who took his seventh fault of its kind this season. Only his former teammate Kevin Durant is ahead of him in this ranking (8) where a player is suspended for one match after 16 techniques received.

This streak with Draymond Green, author of his first double-double of the season (19 points and 11 assists), did not stop there. Because a few seconds later, Stephen Curry, in turn, celebrated a 3-point basket from Donte DiVincenzo. By being even more expressive, waving his towel and shouting at the referees.

A way for him to ironize and demonstrate the absurdity of the first penalty because the leader also collected his technical fault, causing the hilarity of a good part of the Warriors staff.

It’s the NBA… Your teammates are doing a good move… I had no impact on the game, there was no one near me. So it sucks. What about the fact that it’s going to count towards my total abilities? So that’s ridiculous! “, still annoys Draymond Green.
