The two exchanged some heated words on the court during the fourth quarter, but managed to avoid technical fouls. Green was quick to praise the officials for how they handled the situation.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI thought the officials did a good job. They let it play all day,\u201d Green said after the game. \u201cThey let guys talk, they didn\u2019t break it up. Guys started talking again, and they let them play out some more. Beautiful. This game should be better. We\u2019re playing this league now. They probably\u2026 you get turned into a robot. You don\u2019t see any of that stuff, and then everyone says the ratings are down. Yeah, of course. No s**t\u201d, <\/em>Green said after the game.<\/p>\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Draymond Green &amp; Ron Holland Exchange Words, Then Isaiah Stewart &amp; Dennis Schroder Get Double Techs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I67vkAMxukQ?start=21&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>Green, known for his fiery on-court personality, however, praised the Pistons\u2019 rookie and claimed that the 19-year-old has few traits that can\u2019t be taught.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI got an opportunity to see him play quite a few times in high school.
