The Golden State Warriors won Game 1 of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, however, it wasn’t without controversy. In a game filled with questionable officiating, perhaps the most divisive call of the night was the flagrant foul 2 given to Warriors’ big man Draymond Green just before halftime. Green was ejected from the game as the Warriors were forced to win without their defensive ace and leader.
According to a report by The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Anthony Slater on Monday morning, the NBA announced that Green’s flagrant foul 2 will not be reduced by the league.
