Warriors Big Man Draymond Green doesn’t appear to be NBA official Marc Davis’ biggest fan.
During Sunday’s 109-100 Game 3 win over the Mavericks, Green Davis tore for ordering an offensive foul on Andrew Wiggins after forward Luka Doncic posterized in the fourth quarter.
After Warriors coach Steve Kerr contested the call and it was overturned, green screamed “You’ve got to be stopped, Marc!” at Davis – who called out a technical foul on Green early in the game after suffering a backcourt injury in the second quarter.

“They tried to take it away!” said Wiggins after the game about the initial foul call on the game.
The Warriors were up 91-83 late in the fourth quarter when Wiggins gutted Doncic on the edge from a Stephen Curry assist.
Wiggins, a former No. 1 overall for the Timberwolves, was defended by Doncic for most of the game.
“I was hit a bit, but that was impressive,” said Doncic after the game. “I won’t lie. I watched the video again and thought ‘Oof’. That was pretty amazing. I wish I had these bunnies.”

Warriors guard Klay Thompson said Wiggins “looked like Dominique Wilkins out there with the dunks he was throwing.”
Curry called Wiggins’ dunk “amazing” and said it was “absolutely” his favorite the striker has ever thrown.
“You don’t win the playoffs without guys like Wiggs,” Kerr said. “He’s a different guy like Steph who never seems to get tired.”
wiggins called he “just felt the energy” when he flew over Doncic. “The rim was all I saw.”

Wiggins’ baby daughter was in the crowd, wearing a shirt from her father’s last big dunk as he posterized his former Minnesota teammate Karl-Anthony Towns last November.
