NBA rescinds Draymond Green’s technical in Game 2 vs. Rockets

Draymond Green has three more technical fouls to spend this postseason, now that his technical from Tuesday night’s Game 2 win over the Rockets was rescinded.

Green and Houston center Nene got tangled up after a free-throw attempt in the second half. They exchanged seemingly minor words but were assessed matching technical fouls.

It would have been Green’s fourth of the playoffs, leaving him just three away from a one-game suspension, but the Warriors were confident Tuesday night that the NBA would reconsider official Ed Malloy’s decision.

While Green now has an extra technical foul to go before suspension, he’s received three in just nine games. If the Warriors make it to the NBA Finals, they’ll play at least 10 more games of escalating importance.
