In a pivotal matchup against the Orlando Magic, the Golden State Warriors clinched a vital 101-93 win, overcoming the early ejection of Draymond Green.
Just four minutes into the game, Green was ejected for disputing a call with the officials, prompting Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to acknowledge that the decision was warranted.
“Too bad. It was unfortunate. He deserved it. He will bounce back,” Kerr stated, per Anthony Slater.
Despite the absence of Green, the Warriors rallied together to secure a crucial victory, maintaining their position in the playoff race within the fiercely competitive Western Conference.
The victory solidifies the Warriors’ standing in the playoff picture, as they maintain a one-game advantage over the Houston Rockets in the tightly contested Western Conference standings.
