With the Warriors' season hanging in the balance, Draymond Green was forced to watch as his teammates took on the Kings in Game 3 of their first-round series.
Green was handed a one-game suspension by the NBA after stepping on the chest of Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis during the fourth quarter of Game 2. That punishment left Golden State shorthanded heading into the biggest game of the season.
Fortunately for Green, the Warriors stepped up with a huge performance to earn a commanding 114-97 win. It cut the Kings' lead in the series to 2-1 and gave Golden State the chance to even things up with a win at the Chase Center on Sunday.

Barring any late surprises, Green will be back in the lineup for Game 4 after serving his suspension.
There was some speculation about whether Green had been injured on the play that got him suspended. Sabonis appeared to grab his foot, prompting Green to retaliate by stepping on him.
Green reportedly requested an X-ray after the game, but there have been no indications that he's dealing with any injuries.
