Draymond Green wants to make sure it is crystal clear that he is not the agitator between himself and Rajon Rondo right now.

The players have found themselves face-to-face in their two straight games after exchanging some words again Friday during the Pelicans' 119-100 win in Game 3.

In the middle of the first quarter, Rondo and Green jawed at each other as play came to a stop and Rondo pushed Green as he was trying to get away from the sideline to get to his bench for a timeout.

Later in the game, Rondo appeared to step on Green's foot as Green was walking in the other direction.
