After Draymond Green's ejection, galvanized Warriors hang on to beat Suns for fifth straight win

This, as crew chief Sean Wright told the crowd at Chase Center, was a "throwdown." There was simply no more generous way to put it, even by the buttoned-up linguistic standards of an NBA official. Draymond Green had struck again. Actually, it was more of a push. Young Suns big man Khaman Maluach bumped Green off his spot early in the third quarter of an eventual 116-113 Golden State win, with enough force to send him sprawling.
