Things started to become chippy between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings during the fourth quarter of Game 2 on Tuesday night at Golden 1 Center.

Following a Malik Monk miss, the Kings and Warriors began marching down the opposite side of the floor with Golden State in transition. As the ball was moved up the floor, Draymond Green and Domantas Sabonis got tangled up.

With Sabonis on the ground, the Kings All-Star center appeared to grab Green’s ankle causing the Warriors’ forward to step on his chest. The tussle between Green and Sabonis caused a stop in the game and a review from the officials.

After the review, Green was assessed a flagrant two-foul for stepping on Sabonis, triggering an ejection from the game. Sabonis was issued a technical foul for his part in the interactions.

During the official review and on his way to the locker room, Green hyped his teammates while stirring up the Sacramento crowd in signature fashion.

Green finished the game with eight points, five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 31 minutes against the Kings.

Without Green down the stretch, the Warriors couldn’t secure a much-needed win over the Kings in Game 2. Along with Green’s ejection, the Warriors fell to 0-2 in the series against the Kings with another loss on Tuesday night.

Following Green’s ejection, the NBA community on Twitter exploded with a flurry of reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Monday evening.
