Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins was on the receiving end of a tense moment between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Memphis Grizzles guard Desmond Bane during Wednesday’s night game that resulted in both players receiving a technical. 

Late in the second quarter, with the Grizzlies leading by one, Green got tangled up beneath the net with Santi Aldama. Green appeared to shove Aldama after he bumped him following an offensive rebound.

Bane apparently did not appreciate how close Green was to his coach and a shoving match ensured. Several players from both teams got involved, and the growing scuffle sent Jenkins tumbling down to the ground. 

"I didn’t really think there was a sequence," Green said of the incident after the game. "I got grabbed and I snatched my arm away, and I got a [technical]." 

After Green and Bane both received technicals, the Warriors scored 17 unanswered points.
