That’s not all, the Golden State Warriors veteran also gave his honest remark on the matter, showering praise for his teammates. “Beautiful, beautiful,” Green told the reporters post-game. “You don’t back down from anybody and they didn’t. So, I like it,” Green added, giving his stamp of approval.

In a late-game scuffle, Warriors guard Pat Spencer was ejected after headbutting Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun.
Sengun bumped into Pat Spencer, who immediately reacted with a headbutt to the Rockets star's face. Before things could get further out of hand, Trayce Jackson-Davis shoved Sengun away, and both benches quickly got involved to diffuse the situation.

The officials reviewed the sequence and handed out technical fouls to Sengun and Jackson-Davis for their roles in the scuffle. Spencer, however, was assessed a flagrant technical and promptly ejected from the game for what officials described as an “illegal headbutt.”
Despite the altercation, the Rockets never lost their grip on the game. The win pushes the series to a Game 6, which is set for Friday night at Chase Center in San Francisco. And after this dust-up, the atmosphere is bound to be even more intense.
