Donovan Mitchell on Draymond Green: 'He pushed me, so I pushed him back'
Mitchell’s mom, Nicole, doesn’t like seeing her baby boy get into altercations. So, she wanted to talk about the latest incident with Golden State antihero Draymond Green. “He pushed me, so I pushed him back,” Mitchell said when asked about the fracas following Cleveland’s 118-110 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.

Steve Kerr calls Draymond Green’s ejection “bizarre.”
“I had never heard this rule, but apparently you can retroactively call a technical from two plays before.” – 11:46 PM

Draymond Green has been ejected from the game.
After the refs reviewed to see if Donovan Mitchel’s foul on Green was flagrant, they deemed it common. But Green was assessed a tech on that play — his 2nd of the night. Big loss for GSW, as he’s had the most energy on the floor. – 10:21 PM

Draymond Green has been ejected for his second technical foul. He riles up the crowd and has more words for #Cavs on his way off the floor. – 10:20 PM

Draymond Green has been ejected. Reviewing the play, officials went back the previous possession and saw Green bumped Mitchell. He was given his second technical

Draymond Green tonight has gone 135 percent above the same thing they just kicked Giannis out of a game for, and what they kicked Jaren Jackson Jr. Out of a game for just last night. – 10:19 PM

Draymond Green picks up a technical foul for screaming at the official. Wouldn’t be #Cavs–#Warriors without one of those, am I right? – 9:25 PM

Should be no surprise given how good the group has been together, but #Cavs going with usual starting 5 tonight against the Warriors.
Darius Garland. Donovan Mitchell. Max Strus. Evan Mobley. Jarrett Allen.
No Isaac Okoro or Ty Jerome because of injury. – 7:54 PM

Did you know that no one on #Cavs roster has a better on-off differential than newcomer Max Strus? Not even Donovan Mitchell. It’s just one of the many ways Strus has been a difference-maker — even in the midst of an early-season shooting slump
