The tip results of Wednesday’s sport between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves was by all means a optimistic one: a 123-110 win for the Dubs. However the sport itself wasn’t solely easy crusing.
Early within the third quarter, Draymond Inexperienced and Jordan Poole received into some type of bench argument that escalated to the purpose the place teammates needed to step in between the 2 — principally in entrance of Inexperienced. Followers captured this confrontation and it was, naturally, posted to social media relatively shortly.
Anthony Slater of The Athletic provided his ideas on what spurred this specific incident, which he admitted was a guess on his half. The belief is that it spawned from a play on the 7:27 mark of the third quarter, when Inexperienced dedicated a turnover and Poole didn’t seem to hustle onerous to get again on protection.
Nonetheless, a guess is all followers and reporters can work with, since neither participant spoke in the course of the post-game presser (Inexperienced left the sport early with a thigh damage).
Teammate confrontations are nothing new for Inexperienced; he’s not shy about stepping into it with fellow teammates, and even coaches, to precise his frustration. It’s par for the course with somebody of his aggressive nature.
It’s additionally value noting that Inexperienced often is not exhibiting hot-headedness with out pondering by the implications, and he may’ve felt that Poole wanted some robust love. Earlier blow-ups have ended with Inexperienced and whoever he was arguing with being on good phrases, even when it generally takes some time for the general public to see that.
