Draymond Green was assessed his fifth technical foul in just his ninth playoff game this year - two more would warrant an automatic suspension.

In the second quarter, Green elbowed Naz Reid after Reid had just fouled him.

Green was suspended indefinitely last season for his on-court antics that had been brewing since the prior playoffs, including stomping on Domantas Sabonis. He also put Rudy Gobert in a chokehold and hit Jusuf Nurkic with an open hand, which led to the extended suspension.

However, after the game, Green seemed to hint that he believes there is an "agenda" against him that he is an "angry Black man."

"Looked like the angry Black man. I'm not an angry Black man. I am a very successful, educated Black man with a great family, and I am great at basketball and great at what I do," he said.

"The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man is crazy. I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous."

In the Warriors' last season, Green admitted he was "embarrassed" that he "pouted way too much" during a game at home in which they lost that forced a Game 7. He said he had "some heart-to-hearts" with "people I trust the most" after that game.
