The NBA has fined Golden State Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green $50,000 for comments that questioned the integrity of game officials, specifically referencing the +5.5-point spread
The incident occurred during Game 3 of the second-round playoff series between the Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, which ended in a 102–97 win for Minnesota.
Green reportedly told his teammates "the spread is 5.5" during a timeout with 15 seconds remaining in the game.
The Warriors then hit a three-pointer, ultimately losing by five points—just enough to cover the spread.
