Draymond Green faced a tough night in Game 2 of the NBA playoffs as the Golden State Warriors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 117-99. Despite Steph Curry's limited minutes due to a hamstring injury, the Warriors struggled to maintain pace with Minnesota, tied at one game apiece in the series. Green's frustration peaked when he received a technical foul after an altercation with Naz Reid. In a postgame rant, he criticized the unfair portrayal of him as an 'angry black man'. However, ESPN's Brian Windhorst suggested that many believe Green actually receives leniency from referees, having amassed a notable number of technicals without further punishment.

The Warriors aim to rebound in Game 3, needing Green's presence on the court more than ever as they face an inspired Timberwolves team.
