Draymond Green was visibly frustrated with the referees after the Golden State Warriors 91-90 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Green also appeared to threaten a Rockets fan courtside after being allegedly called a "b*tch" late in the fourth quarter.

In the video below, Alperen Sengun was shooting a free throw with 3:23 left in the game. As Sengun hits the bonus shot, a fan can be heard seemingly asking the former Defensive Player of the Year why he was such a "b*tch."

Green appeared to have responded with the threat of violence, saying that he was going to slap the sh*t out of the fan. The Warriors legend then approached the official on the sidelines to possibly tell what the heckler said to him.

No further incident followed, but the Golden State Warriors struggled to score since it happened. They only added just one point to their total tally until the end of the game, while the Houston Rockets went on a 6-0 run to steal the win. The Rockets advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup and will face the OKC Thunder in Las Vegas.

The Warriors had the lead with less than five seconds left in the game after Steph Curry missed a 3-point shot. Players scrambled for the loose ball before it fell into the hands of Jalen Green, with Jonathan Kuminga being called for the foul.

Green made both free throws to give the Rockets a one-point lead. The Warriors had a chance to win the game, but Curry was trapped so he had to pass the ball to Brandin Podziemski.

Jabari Smith Jr. blocked the shot as the buzzer sounded, leaving the Warriors stunned by the defeat. Draymond Green was seen talking to officials, possibly asking about the foul call on Kuminga and the non-call on Smith.

Golden State has a few days off before hosting the Dallas Mavericks at the Chase Center on Sunday. Both teams came up short in the Emirates NBA Cup and will look to get back on the winning track. The Mavericks were eliminated by the OKC Thunder in the other West quarterfinal matchup.

After telling fans that Draymond Green would come off the bench in favor of Jonathan Kuminga, coach Steve Kerr started the former DPOY in the past two games. It will be interesting to see if Kerr changes his mind again for the Mavs matchup.
