SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Golden State forward Draymond Green was ejected late in the first half of the Warriors\u2019 123-114 victory<\/a> over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night after consecutive technical fouls for arguing with officials.<\/p>\n

Green apparently thought there should have been a 3-second call and was ejected with 2:25 left in the second quarter. He was tossed for the second time in his last four home games \u2014 he sat out Friday\u2019s lopsided loss to Oklahoma City to rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won the game, that\u2019s all we care about, that\u2019s all he cares about,\u201d Stephen Curry said. \u201cI know he\u2019d rather be out there. I don\u2019t know what he said to the ref but I didn\u2019t think it was … the consensus in the locker room was it wasn\u2019t enough to get thrown out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also during this stretch, Green left the bench following a heated exchange with coach Steve Kerr during a third-quarter timeout Dec. 22 against Orlando and then went to the locker room on his own to cool down.<\/p>\n

Green now has nine technicals this season, and would receive an automatic one-game suspension upon reaching 16. He had eight points, three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

Kerr said he didn\u2019t hear what Green said but called the ejection \u201ca quick one,\u201d saying it seemed official Kevin Cutler quickly decided to toss Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cI assume it was something that Kevin just wasn\u2019t going to listen to,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n

Kerr said the Warriors need Green to be smart with his emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need Draymond and I want him out there. I think he might be up to about nine techs,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cWe\u2019re not halfway through the season yet, so long way to go. We need him.\u201d <\/p>\n
