During the replay and subsequent review, the Warriors' home broadcast team cut Green a bit of slack for the stomp, noting that Sabonis grabbed Green's foot before the stomp. 

"Sabonis was holding onto Draymond’s foot, which is wrong," Warriors play-by-play man Bob Fitzgerald said. "Draymond stepping on Sabonis like that is not right either. 

"He’s holding onto his right foot. If they replay this, this is going to be interesting because you could end up with a double T (technical).

"Well, Draymond was trying to run back," analyst Kelenna Azubuike added. "I don't think he had a choice but to step on him."
