On April 17, Beijing time, the NBA playoff Warriors played the first home game against the Nuggets. There was an accident on the court in the fourth quarter, and Cousins suffered two consecutive technical fouls and was expelled.
The Warriors unleashed a 16-4 run in the final moments of the first half, pulling away a double-digit point difference. In the case of Poole's outbreak, Green only made one shot in the first half, with 2 points and 4 assists. For Green, though, the most important task of the battle was to help limit Jokic.
In the second half, the Warriors continued to widen the point gap, and by the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were already 20 points ahead. Not long after the fourth quarter was played, Cousins was out of control and was expelled for two technical fouls.
With 10 minutes and 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Cousins was dissatisfied with the penalty, finger referee, and ate a technical foul. Seeing the referee's technical foul moves, Cousins couldn't believe his eyes, and he spread his hands to express puzzlement.
Just as Cousins was chattering, referee Foster rushed over and blew Cousins a technical foul, directly expelling him. Seeing that he had been expelled, Cousins was about to cry, quite helpless, and could only turn around and walk towards the players' tunnel.
