Two days after losing Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors are nearing the point where they could be without Draymond Green as well. The veteran big man picked up his fifth technical foul in nine playoff games this postseason on Thursday,

Despite the looming punishment, however, Green was able to hit a historic career milestone shortly after the incident. The NBA reacted to the big news by sending the former Defensive Player of the Year a congratulatory message for moving to the No. 14 spot for the most assists in the postseason.

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are playing the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 2 of their second-round series. Green had five points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block while shooting 1/6 from the field in his first 22 minutes of playing time.
