"It was really unforgivable" - Steve Kerr implies Steph Curry teared up in frustration after Draymond Green's quick exit vs Magic
Steph Curry was visibly frustrated after his Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green was ejected four minutes into the first quarter against the Orlando Magic. Curry couldn't hide the look on his face and even appeared to tear up.
Coach Steve Kerr got a chance to address what happened in the post-game conference.
"Every game being so important. And us fighting for everything and for Draymond to get kicked out three minutes in. It was really unforgivable," Kerr said. "And I think Steph may have been a little upset with himself for not pulling Draymond out of there but I think mostly it was just, come on, man."
Green was dismissed after arguing with the referees following a foul call on Andrew Wiggins. The defensive forward kept talking to the referee about the call and earned his first technical foul. The Warriors star didn't stop there as he kept on berating the official and was called for his second technical foul, which is an automatic ejection.
However, his absence did not impact the Warriors too much as they beat the Magic thanks to Wiggins' 23 points. Curry helped out with 17 points and 10 assists.
