Draymond Green's ejection clip captures heated exchange with Dillon Brooks

ESPN's Short drew far more views and comments than usual as a tangle under the basket brought players and referees into the confrontation.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 156,861 views a day, 17 times a normal first day on this channel (8,990).

Draymond Green was ejected after this play.

ESPN's clip starts with Draymond Green getting entangled with an opponent near the basket and the other player falling to the floor. Within seconds, basketball gives way to a face-to-face exchange with Dillon Brooks, with teammates and referees stepping between them.

"Draymond is upset. He threw him down, that's gonna be a tech," the commentator says. The crowd around the players grows as staff join the effort to separate them. ESPN supplies the outcome in its title: "Draymond Green was ejected after this play."

The Short reached more than 150,000 views before its first full day was over. ESPN's usual first-day audience for this format is around 9,000, and the comment section was also far busier than normal.

Viewers focus on the Green-Brooks pairing, with some reaching back to earlier NBA eras and Rasheed Wallace's technical fouls as points of comparison. Those comments are basketball arguments, not an explanation of the officials' decision.

There was a quieter Warriors moment among ESPN's other fast-starting Shorts, too: a separate clip marked the end of Stephen Curry's perfect free-throw run to start the season.
