Clash between Golden State and Memphis players during NBA match. VIDEO

Last night witnessed a regular NBA season match between Golden State and Memphis, culminating in a triumph for the hosts with a scoreline of 137:116.

This encounter will be remembered for the altercation between players of both teams. In the second quarter, the home team's forward, Santī Aldama, retrieved the ball and elbowed Green, displeasing the American player from Golden State, who then shoved his opponent in the chest. Following the conclusion of the subsequent attack, the Memphis coach decided to call a timeout to address and resolve the situation.

During this interlude, a skirmish ensued between the two teams, resulting in Jonathan Kuminga finding himself on the court. As a consequence of the altercation initiated by Bain and Green, both received two technical fouls.

It's worth recalling that not long ago, Draymond Green served a lengthy suspension for striking an opponent in the face. He was sidelined from December 13th until mid-January.

By the way, a few days ago, the NBA office hosted a meeting with representatives of the league's competition committee. At the meeting, they discussed the fact that referees began to pay more attention to players who deliberately change direction towards defenders to earn a foul instead of going to the hoop.
