Green has been tremendous defensively for the Warriors in their first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets as well. The four-time All-Star is averaging 6.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game against the Rockets and has helped the Warriors be up 2-1 in the series.

There was some extracurricular activity after the game, though, which, unsurprisingly, involved Warriors veteran Draymond Green. After the final buzzer, the former Defensive Player of the Year had some words for Rockets star Jalen Green, who himself had a few things to say as well.

Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors is not the 2024-25 Defensive Player of the Year, but he got a consolation prize of sorts the day after he found out that he'd finished third. Green is the winner of this season's Hustle Award, the NBA announced Friday.
