Chris Paul says he will pay any fine that results from teammate Gerald Green shoving Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng in the fourth quarter of the Rockets’ 129-120 win Sunday night. Green was ejected for coming to Paul’s defense after a frustrated Dieng pushed him down after a foul.
Green sounded contrite after the game. “I’m just trying to be there for my teammate,” Green said. “I saw something happen and I reacted. I paid the consequences for it. I learned my lesson, got ejected, try not to do that again, and hopefully we’re going to move forward from this.”
Jonathan Feigen: Dieng nailed Chris Paul with a hard foul while chasing a loose ball. Gerald Green belted Dieng in retaliation. Got to think both are done for the night.
Jonathan Feigen: Green ejected. Technical fouls on Green and Dieng.
