The Golden State Warriors claimed a commanding 126-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center on Sunday. Ever since Klay Thompson’s move to Dallas, games between the Warriors and Mavericks have grown heated. This time, Draymond Green’s team used that energy to their advantage, evening the season series at 2-2.
In their previous clash with the Mavericks, Golden State found themselves on the receiving end of aggressive taunts. But on Sunday, the Warriors flipped the narrative. Draymond Green, in particular, took the opportunity to return the favor.
Following the blowout victory, cameras caught him hitting Stephen Curry’s iconic “night night” celebration. Green didn’t stop there. With all eyes on him, he followed up the “night night” with a bold, spank-happy celebration, staring directly at the Mavericks bench before he made his exit.

Fans couldn’t get enough of Green’s bold celebrations. The “night night” move, in particular, struck a chord. It served as payback to Mavericks forward PJ Washington, who had used the same celebration against the Warriors earlier in the season.
Draymond green is a funny man
