As the Golden State Warriors bench broke into a scuffle with the Houston Rockets during Game 5 of their first-round series on Wednesday, no one looked more proud than Warriors forward Draymond Green.

I was surprised I got a technical. When somebody’s leg is on the back of your head, I don’t understand exactly what they wanted me to do.”

After the game, 2025 NBA Hustle Award winner Draymond Green said, "They weren't playing 'Whoop that Trick' but they may as well have been," per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. A brief Warriors run early in the fourth cut the lead, but the Rockets’ starters quickly eliminated any threat.
