Both one technical foul away from missing time, neither Draymond Green or Dillon Brooks could afford to let their emotions get the best of them in Thursday night's game between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies. With so much back and forth between the two players over the last week, they were bound to get into it at some point, and they did have a brief face-to-face moment in Thursday night's game.

Draymond Green was asked about this after the loss to Memphis, and took another shot at Brooks, saying the difference between them is that Green cannot be baited into technical fouls the way Brooks can.

"He thought he would bait me like he gets baited," Green said. "I get technical fouls when I want to get a technical foul. I don't get baited into technical fouls. So I think that's probably the difference between me and him. If I do that to him, it would be a double-tech, because he would respond. But it's not a double-tech, because I didn't respond. So one of us is bait-able, and one of us aren't. And that's just kinda how it goes."

Knowing he was one technical foul away from his 16th, which comes with a one-game suspension, Green did well to not let Brooks bait him into a technical foul. According to Green, that's one of the differences between him and Brooks.
