Butler had DDV back to beat on a fast break. He kicks out and the possession ended with a missed Draymond 3 from the top – 10:32 PM

Draymond came over to check on Ant before he got up. He was down for a minute.

Anthony Edwards couldn’t put any weight on a leg and had to be helped off to the locker room. Draymond Green came out to see if Edwards was OK and stayed there until Edwards was helped up, grimacing in pain. – 9:28 PM

Anybody who still believes that Draymond is “just too passionate or competitive to control his actions” is naive. He doesn’t want to. If you think the positives outweigh the negatives, that’s perfectly fine and perhaps even correct. But these are active choices. AK – 9:25 PM

Now Draymond has returned to his usual place of being public enemy number one in a road building. Jimmy held the title in Minny till now – 9:19 PM

It’s honestly impressive how close Draymond Green is to an accumulation suspension in just 8 1/4 games. – 9:18 PM

Uh oh. There was a foul on Naz Reid out on the perimeter guarding Draymond Green. After a replay review, Green was called for a technical foul for hitting Reid in the face. – 9:17 PM

That’ll be Draymond Green’s fifth technical foul of the playoffs. Two from a one-game suspension. Probably what the Warriors needed least tonight. – 9:17 PM

Flagrant 1 coming here on Draymond. It’s the same thing he always does, flailing after a foul. – 9:16 PM

Draymond flails while being fouled and hits Naz Reid in the head. That’s likely a flagrant or a technical foul – 9:15 PM

The Warriors are starting rookie center Quinten Post in Steph Curry’s place, prioritizing extra size and space around Jimmy Butler. Post is an extra big for Edwards/Wolves to attack.
Game 2 starters
Brandin Podziemski
Buddy Hield
Jimmy Butler
Draymond Green
Quinten Post – 8:04 PM

Draymond Green has played in 31 playoff series without ever being swept.
Only one player in NBA history beats that number.

Draymond Green has played his best the last two games. It took 48 hours of recalibrating, listening to Jodeci, heart to hearts with loved ones like Izzo and helping organize the biggest meeting of the year. Without Steph, Draymond must lead with poise: espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 3:49 PM

More on this storyline
During the game, Green was assessed a technical foul for elbowing Minnesota’s Naz Reid. After the technical was announced following a review, Green argued with the officials before getting pulled away by his teammates. Eventually, an injured Steph Curry spoke to Green to help calm him down. -via Awful Announcing / May 9, 2025
Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr on Draymond Green nearing the seven-technical one-game suspension (two away): “He’s going to have to be careful…He’s going to have to stay composed and I’m confident he will because he knows the circumstances.” -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / May 9, 2025
