The game was chippy when the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves played against each other on Sunday night.
Not only was there a potentially dangerous incident involving Chris Paul against Mike Conley but there was also a heated exchange between Golden State’s Draymond Green and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards.
During the fourth quarter, Edwards recorded a steal and then a fastbreak before drawing contact from Green and earning a trip to the free-throw line.

After the foul, Green appeared to ask Edwards, “You think I’m gonna give you a layup?”
Green then seemingly asked Edwards, “What you gonna do about it?” Edwards calmly and boldly responded, “Ain’t nobody worried about you, bruh.”
The two continued jarring at one another even as Edwards was shooting at the free-throw line. But this is nothing new for these two players, who aren’t afraid to back down.

Back when he was a rookie, Edwards and Green yelled “Yessir!” back and forth at each other during a game. Green said he found it “refreshing” and that he loved the exchange.
Edwards, who finished the Minnesota victory over Golden State with 33 points and this remarkable dunk, has previously said that his ideal opponent is the Warriors because Green talks so much trash.
The two players clearly share mutual respect. Green has said that he thinks Edwards would do well in the media. Perhaps they will play alongside one another on Team USA for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
