Draymond Green: "The whole world saw them jawing back and forth. For Yaxel to get a tech for saying something on one play that Luka doesn't say something, I thought was the weakest shit ever. I thought that was pathetic. When a guy is mixing it up with a guy and a rookie is not backing down, you don't punish the rookie with a technical foul because he's not backing down from the superstar. There's enough rookies that back down from superstars. But it's like, get in line. No, you shut up. Why, because he's a rookie, should he shut up? Why? I came in talking. When I hit my game-winner against the Miami Heat as a rookie, me and Bron were already talking, mixing it up. He tells me I'm too little, I score to tell him he's too little, then I get the walk-off. That was, guess what, when you see the respect and love that Bron and I have for each other now, it starts there, from a guy not backing down."
