After the game, a fan on Threads alleged that Spurs star Victor Wembanyama fouled Green during a key sequence.
" Doris Burke , completely ignoring the fact that Wemby has his arm completely wrapped around Green," @fs.kid wrote.
Green responded directly:
"She will always ignore things happening to me and only half mention the good. And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while…"
The 35-year-old forward turned in a near triple-double performance with Stephen Curry sidelined, finishing with 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes. He shot 6-for-14 from the field and 2-for-8 from beyond the arc while serving as the primary facilitator.

Doris Burke's past criticism of Draymond Green resurfaces after Warriors loss
Burke has previously been critical of Green's on-court conduct. During last season's first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets , she questioned whether officials allowed Green more leeway regarding technical fouls.
"How many guys get this kind of leash, in the league, to get a Flagrant 1 and continue the discussion?" Burke said during that broadcast.
Play-by-play announcer Mike Breen added:
"They're gonna give players a little extra rope…but it just gets tired."
The Warriors surrendered a 16-point lead in the loss and fell to 29-26 , sliding into the Western Conference's eighth seed entering NBA All-Star Weekend at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles .
