That's not all, the Golden State Warriors veteran also gave his honest remark on the matter, showering praise for his teammates. 'Beautiful, beautiful,' Green told the reporters post-game. 'You don't back down from anybody and they didn't. So, I like it,' Green added, giving his stamp of approval.
In a late-game scuffle, Warriors guard Pat Spencer was ejected after headbutting Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun.
Sengun bumped into Pat Spencer, who immediately reacted with a headbutt to the Rockets star's face. Before things could get further out of hand, Trayce Jackson-Davis shoved Sengun away, and both benches quickly got involved to diffuse the situation.
The officials reviewed the sequence and handed out technical fouls to Sengun and Jackson-Davis for their roles in the scuffle. Spencer, however, was assessed a flagrant technical and promptly ejected from the game for what officials described as an 'illegal headbutt.'
Despite the altercation, the Rockets never lost their grip on the game. The win pushes the series to a Game 6, which is set for Friday night at Chase Center in San Francisco. And after this dust-up, the atmosphere is bound to be even more intense.

The former head coach was awarded the Coach of the Year in 2021 for leading the Knicks to their first playoff after 2013. Besides, Thibodeau also helped the team reach Conference Finals 2025 which the Knicks had last appeared for in 2000. However, there were several rumors and news reports that players did not like Thibodeau's way of coaching. Many players anonymously gave their statements regarding their disapproval of Thibodeau. But was this the reason why the Knicks fired him? Though the actual reason is not yet revealed, fans are making their own theories. Will the Knicks go after O'Neal's choice of head coach and hire Mark Jackson? Jackson took retirement after leaving Golden State Warriors in 2014 and has his own podcast now. Even if the Knicks approach him, it remains to be seen whether Jackson will be willing to return as a coach.
