In a thrilling contest between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors, Chet Holmgren and Draymond Green found themselves in the spotlight. The game, part of an in-season tournament, turned into a high-intensity battle with plenty of drama.

Holmgren Shines

Chet Holmgren showcased his skills during the game, tallying 24 points on 7-of-9 shooting, along with eight rebounds and five assists. His performance left a strong impression on everyone in the arena.




Tensions Rise

As the game progressed, tensions escalated between both teams. Chris Paul called for a mid-game huddle with his teammates, but Holmgren, with an intense demeanor, intervened and disrupted the impromptu meeting.


Later in the game, Holmgren faced a significant challenge when he was struck by Draymond Green's elbow, prompting an official review to determine if it constituted a flagrant foul. Ultimately, the call was overturned, but it was clear that this game held more significance than a typical November regular-season matchup.


Green's Decisive Role

Draymond Green played a pivotal role in the game's final moments. Initially called for offensive goaltending, the referees reversed their decision after a lengthy review, awarding Steph Curry the game-winning basket.

Green's Praise for Holmgren

After the game, Draymond Green offered high praise for Chet Holmgren, despite the Oklahoma City Thunder fans' mixed feelings toward the four-time champion.

Green remarked,
"Chet's a problem. He can play. He can dribble, shoot, has remarkable length, and is an outstanding shot blocker. He's only going to get better. For a young player to show such poise and skill, he's making fewer rookie mistakes. The sky's the limit for Chet. We've been watching him for years, and now he's proving himself in the NBA. He's going to be a force in this league for a long time."
