Late in Game 4, as the Cavs gave not going down 3-1 in the Finals one last shot, this happened.
It isn’t the most brow-raising altercation Draymond Green‘s been involved in during these NBA Playoffs, and it wasn’t even the most flagrant foul he’s committed in recent weeks, but it was presumably the straw that broke the camel’s back where the NBA was concerned. The league announced yesterday that Green will be suspended for tonight’s Game 5, a close-out game for the Warriors, who have the opportunity to win their second consecutive NBA title in front of their home fans.
Naturally, all the talk tonight will be of Green’s suspension, and how LeBron James and Tyronn Lue quasi-campaigned for it, but ahead of all that, LeBron’s teammate, Kevin Love, had something to say about the events that led to the Warriors forward being unavailable for tonight’s game.
Kevin Love on stepover moves: “You don’t see it too much, but, yeah, I think it is looked at as a form of disrespect.”

Well, this is in no way Love taking Draymond Green’s side, but it might be a little awkward in the Cleveland locker room later tonight. Quite frankly, Love might still be reeling from another LeBron step-over–well, step-by really–that he was directly involved in.
