Draymond Green was clearly Public Enemy No. 1 at TD Garden in Boston during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Green was involved in a couple of incidents in the first half of Game 2, earning a technical foul after an altercation with Grant Williams and avoiding a second technical following a kerfuffle with Jaylen Brown.

If Green’s plan was to get under the skin of the Celtics and their fans, he was successful.
Green was roundly booed by the Boston faithful during pregame introductions, and then later when he touched the ball in the first quarter of Game 3. Fans also started a couple of chants - one of them was “Draymond sucks” and the other was NSFW.
During postgame press conferences Wednesday night, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the Boston crowd's response to Green during the game.
"Classy. Very classy," Kerr said of Celtics fans.
This is hardly the first time that Green has been singled out by another team’s fanbase. We’ll see if it ignites him for the remainder of the series.
Game 4 is Friday night at TD Garden.
