Warriors' Draymond Green has petty one-word message for the Rockets after game 7 win

You can't count on many things in life, but Draymond Green basking in conflict is almost a guarantee. 

The Warriors' forward was instrumental in the 103-89 win over the Houston Rockets, sending Golden State to the second round.

He had 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in 40 minutes. It was his first double-digit scoring output in this year's playoffs.

Green was expectedly vocal about the big win and had plenty to say, on and off the court.

Draymond Green really said “Goodnight, it’s been real” LMAOO 😭

What did Draymond Green say after the game?

When the Warriors left the court and headed to the locker room, the tunnel was filled with energy. Reporters were still in the area as Draymond and Steph Curry trotted down the hallway 

As they got down the tunnel raymond sarcastically screamed out in the hallway "Surprise!" for everyone in the vicinity to hear.

Steph was giddy, laughing as his longtime teammate repeated the phrase over and over again.

The Warriors led the series 3-1 before the Rockets won two straight and force a game seven. Between the back-to-back losses and key players fighting injuries, some thought it could be the end of Golden State.

But for Draymond, he wasn't surprised by the outcome. He and Steph had a good chuckle thinking about those who doubted the Warriors' ability to close out a series.

Golden State advances to the second round where they'll face Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
