Draymond Green, a Golden State Warriors forward, accused referee J.T. Orr of racial discrimination after receiving a technical foul during the second quarter. Green argued that Orr had placed his hand in his face following a turnover, which he interpreted as racially motivated. Video evidence and official reports contradict Green's account, indicating that no such physical gesture occurred.
