Warriors’ Draymond Green criticizes referee after 10th technical foul: ‘As a Black man in America, don’t put your hand in my face’
- On Friday, Green criticized referee JT Orr after his 10th technical foul at Chase Center, speaking near his locker an hour before midnight.
- Green argued officiating treated inbounds/delay-of-game plays differently, noting Thompson was allowed to hold the ball after baskets while Curry was called for delay, with Orr telling Green, 'Oh, tech,' during a replay review.
- On the stat sheet, Green finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while reaching 8,000 career points and joining Curry and Thompson with 800 or more three-pointers.

- Beyond the controversy, the loss underscored Golden State's struggles as Detroit converted 18 turnovers into 31 points and built a large early lead, dropping the Warriors further back after a four-game road trip.
