Adams Stands Up for Green Amidst Intense Warriors vs. Rockets Series

In the midst of a heated NBA playoff series between the Warriors and Rockets, Houston’s center, Steven Adams, jumped to Draymond Green’s defense following the nail-biting victory by Golden State in Game 4. When questioned about whether Green’s behavior “annoys” him, Adams provided a commendable perspective. “It’s all part of the game. The intensity is sky-high out there. The playoffs bring a level of competition that is unmatched by the regular season. Look, players are just giving their all. Everyone is putting in maximum effort, and occasionally things happen. There’s no malicious intent. Ultimately, it’s all about trying to win.” Adams further noted that if Green were crossing a line, the referees would intervene, underscoring that their judgment is the one that matters when it comes to game conduct.”
