In the intense confrontation within the paint, Green fell to the ground.
However, the referee did not blow the whistle.
Green never expected that the Nuggets' rookie, Siakam, would be so fierce.
Siakam glared down at Green, and with a face full of anger, Green crawled up from the floor and charged straight at Siakam.
The atmosphere on-site instantly became tense; the audience held their breaths, their eyes locked on the two of them.
Butler and Zubac reacted quickly, stepping forward immediately to separate Green on the left and right.
Butler shouted loudly at Green: "F*ck, can't you handle losing?"
But Green remained relentless, veins bulging on his neck as he threatened Siakam: "Rookie, don't leave after the game!"
His eyes were filled with provocation, as if he wanted to swallow Siakam whole.
Siakam, unfazed, retorted sharply: "I'll be waiting for you!"
A brawl between black players wouldn't cause racial issues; if it were between black and white, who knows.
