Draymond Green picks up technical foul after hitting Iman Shumpert (video)
Draymond Green is at it again in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The Golden State Warriors forward picked up a foul late in the first quarter against the Cleveland Cavaliers for flailing at Iman Shumpert on a jump ball. His typically over-the-top response earned him a tech shortly after.

The original foul was a common foul, but many were surprised that it was not reviewed as a potential flagrant. Warriors coach Steve Kerr, for his part, was unimpressed with what he felt was a flop by Shumpert.
Steve Kerr's going to re-aggravate his back injury mimicking that Shumpert flop to the referee.

It was only Green’s third technical foul of the playoffs, but it did give him two early fouls in Game 4.
