The Warriors gathered the rebound and went on to win 109-106, though the game was not without controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Green was involved in a series of altercations, receiving one technical foul and another flagrant foul. His performance drew some controversy, with fans questioning why Green was not ejected. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was forced to sit Green for a long stretch as he was in foul trouble, but the Warriors held tight to take a 3-1 lead in the series.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters after the game, Green admitted that he likes playing close to the edge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always walked that line,&#8221; Green said. &#8220;That&#8217;s who I am.
