Draymond Green faced his first ejection of the season during Saturday night's clash between the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns at Chase Center. The former Defensive Player of the Year rammed into Collin Gillespie, which earned him his first technical foul. Shortly, he gestured the sign to the official and jawed at him, leading to the ejection.

Warriors put together best defensive stretch of the season without Draymond Green, escape with a win

The Warriors won 119-116 despite losing Draymond Green early in the second quarter. They put together their best defensive stretch of the season, managing to hold Phoenix to 39% shooting in the last three quarters. It was a meaningful effort given that Green is the backbone of their defense.

However, Will Richard and Jimmy Butler were phenomenal on that end and offensively, which was key to Golden State's success. Richard had 20 points off the bench with five rebounds on 6 of 7 shots. Meanwhile, Butler added 25 on 10 of 21 shots.

Steph Curry led the way with 28 points, 10 rebounds and six assists on 47.4% shooting. That helped the Warriors prevail despite a 38-point night from Devin Booker.

The Warriors improved to 14-15 on the season, snapping a three-game losing streak. They face the Magic on Monday. Golden State will hope it can carry the same defensive momentum with Draymond Green in the lineup in that clash.
