  Warriors Center Draymond Green was ejected two minutes into the third quarter
• 0:25
  of Golden State's one sixteen one thirteen victory over the Phoenix Suns
• 0:30
  on Monday night for consecutive technical fouls. He lit a fire in
• 0:34
  all of us, and we had to respond, so I'm glad we
• 0:36
  did, Stephen Curry said. Tempers flared again with seven twenty six remaining
• 0:41
  in the game as players pushed and shoved, separated by security personnel.
• 0:46
  Miles Bridges received a
• 0:47
  technical, as a physical escalator when he ran to the baseline area
• 0:51
  and pushed Golden State's Charles Bassie, after Bassie kept his arms wrapped
• 0:55
  around Jalen Green's head, after they fought for a rebound beneath the
• 0:59
  basket. That was a dumb time to get a technical, Bridges said.
• 1:03
  It would have been able to tie the game up. But it's
• 1:06
  a physical game, a lot of emotions, a lot of missed calls,
• 1:10
  a lot of calls that were called that shouldn't have been called.
• 1:13
  The previous period, Kaman Maluak had pushed Draymond Green to the ground
• 1:17
  in the paint moments earlier, and the Golden State Star jumped up
• 1:21
  from beneath, and wrapped his arms around the sun center, and threw
• 1:24
  him to the floor. Dylan Brooks immediately sprinted in to enter the
• 1:28
  fray, and approached Green's and they pushed and shoved. Green put his
• 1:32
  hand on Brooks neck, and both received technicals. I was ust trying
• 1:37
  to de escalate the whole thing, Brooks said. He did a lot
• 1:40
  there, fell down, and pushed him at the end of it. I
• 1:42
  was just trying to de escalate it. He was just tweaking all
• 1:45
  game. So let it be. The Warriors appreciated Green's fire. I loved
• 1:50
  it. It fueled our team. Guard Brandon Pojemsky said. We didn't have
• 1:55
  that edge to Oost to start the game. Found it a little
• 1:58
  bit in the second quarter, and then they came out in the
• 2:00
  third quarter pretty well, and then that kind of changed the game
• 2:03
  for us. Everybody locked in a little bit more and came together
• 2:06
  for Dre. I think it was needed. Maybe he sensed it, maybe
• 2:09
  he didn't, but it helped us. It marked Drayman Green's first ejection
• 2:14
  this season, and twenty third of his career, after he had two
• 2:17
  last season. He has one hundred and eighty two career technicals, three
• 2:21
  this season. Maluac said Green was just playing like his intense self.
• 2:27
  I think it's just a basketball palley. He's just out there playing
• 2:30
  basketball, Maluac said. Nothing against Raymond. He's just pla playing basketball out
• 2:34
  there. See the AP's full NBA coverage here.
