So much so that the former Defensive Player of the Year ended up getting into it with Rockets star Fred VanVleet, who had some choice words for the Warriors veteran. VanVleet and Green came together during a dead-ball situation in the fourth quarter, and the two had to be separated as things got heated.

Warriors star Draymond Green had a combustible face-to-face altercation with Rockets guard Fred VanVleet in Houston’s 109-94 win, where it took about a dozen coaches and players to separate the two. Green could be seen inaudibly yelling at VanVleet while the Rockets guard held his ground in a 99-80 game with 5:23 remaining in the fourth quarter.
