MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night, but not before a fan was asked to leave Fiserv Forum.
According to NBC Sports, midway through the third quarter, Warriors' Draymond Green went up to game officials and pointed to a fan sitting on the baseline behind the basket Milwaukee was shooting on. Shortly after a discussion with arena security, a fan was asked to leave the building.

The Associated Press reported Green said the fan said "some threatening stuff" towards him.
According to the Associated Press, Green said, “I was this close to really going back and diving all the way in, but just went back and told the official. And when I told the official, he said, he’s got to get out of here...You just hope it gets to the point to where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws, because that’s the only thing that’s going to ultimately correct the issue, is if you know something real is going to happen to you."

This isn't the first time Green has had an issue with fans sitting courtside. Green was fined $25,000 by the NBA earlier this month for "directed obscene language at a fan" during a game Warriors game in Dallas, NBC Sports says
