The Charlotte Hornets will square off with the Portland Trail Blazers in an NBA matchup at Moda Center on Sunday, scheduled to commence at 9 p.m. EST. While this showdown between two teams ranked near the bottoms of their respective conferences had originally flown under the radar, it’s been thrust into the national spotlight following the fallout of the Hornets’ loss to the Warriors earlier this week.
What did Draymond Green say about Grant Wiliams?
Golden State won that game 97-84, and a last minute Warriors layup led to a bench-clearing scuffle that centered on defensive enforcers Grant Williams (Charlotte) and Draymond Green (Golden State).
After the game, Draymond described the Hornets’ frustration as “…kind of like a sore loser type thing.” Green then called out Williams specifically: “Grant Williams got to stop it, man. Being this tough guy is going absolutely wrong for him.” You can hear the rest of Green’s comments in the clip below.
