Draymond Green says punching Jordan Poole contributed to Warriors’ playoff exit: ‘We would still be playing’

The defending champion Golden State Warriors were knocked out of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers in six games in the second round.

It was the first time the Warriors did not make it to the NBA Finals after making the playoffs since the 2013-14 season, and Draymond Green says he is to blame.

Green made headlines when it was revealed he got into an altercation with teammate Jordan Poole during a practice before the season, but when video of the fight was leaked, it became much more of a story than it originally had been.
