After defending Jazz forward Kyle Filipowski in the paint, Green said something to the official and clapped his hands.

Concerned with the no-call (looking for an offensive three-seconds in the paint?) Green gave up a Lauri Markkanen dunk as he ran freely into the lane after a Filipowski pass.

Green continued to have an animated discussion with the official and received his first technical foul. He continued to argue his case and received a second technical foul from a different official.
