Warriors 131-118; Green Flagged, Denies Gambling Allegations

The Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 131-118 to improve to 3-1. Draymond Green was assessed a flagrant-1 for pulling Santi Aldama down on a break and then mockingly celebrated Aldama’s missed free throws; replays and officials cited wind-up, impact and follow-through on a vulnerable player. Green defended the play as preventing a hard fall and later used his podcast to angrily deny broad gambling and point-shaving accusations, calling such claims “complete 'bulls**t.'” Golden State received balanced scoring from Jonathan Kuminga (25), Brandin Podziemski (23) and Stephen Curry (16), while Green finished with 7 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds. The incident drew mixed reactions as attention to Green’s conduct comes amid ongoing federal gambling probes and recent arrests of figures including Terry Rozier and Jontay Porter.
