Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Less than two minutes into the Timberwolves vs. Warriors In-Season Tournament game – with the score still 0-0 — Klay Thompson grabbed Jaden McDaniels’ jersey as part of a box out, which led to McDaniels pulling on Thompson’s jersey as they ran up the court, and suddenly it was on — over seemingly nothing.
Then things got wild: Rudy Gobert came in and grabbed Thompson trying to break things up, Draymond Green rushed in and put Gobert in a headlock and dragged him away.

Green’s de-escalation skills need some work. Green may get the worst of this when the league looks at the film and hands out fines and/or suspensions, he took the entire situation to another level by going to the wrestling hold.

After the game, Gobert took his shot at Green in a cut him where it hurts.
Gobert on Draymond: “Every time Steph doesn’t play, he doesn’t want to play without his guy Steph so he does anything he can to get ejected.”

Stephen Curry sat out this game with a sore knee, which left the Warriors going against one of the hottest teams in the league without Curry, Thompson or Green. The result was a 104-101 Minnesota win.
