Warriors' Draymond Green: 'We're not playing good basketball and we're getting punked'

By Adam Stites | Last updated 3/22/22

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, 94-90, and Draymond Green had harsh things to say about his team's performance.

"We're playing soft," Green said at a post game presser. "We're playing stupid. We're just not playing good basketball and we're getting punked. It's hard to win a game getting punked. That's kind of where we are right now.

"No disrespect to the Orlando Magic, but that's one of the worst teams in the league. And we can't match up with them. And if you can't match up with them, you're definitely not going to do it against the great teams."

Green, 32, highlighted the Warriors' fourth quarter play as an area of concern. Golden State led by 14 with less than 11 minutes left Tuesday night before Orlando rallied for a comeback victory.

The Warriors fell to 47-25 with the loss and have a tenuous grasp on third place in the Western Conference with the Utah Jazz two games back at 45-27. The Magic climbed out of last place in the Eastern Conference with the win that moved the team to 20-53 on the season.
