Just thinking of the messaging expressed in the actions. Bradley Beal going after Draymond Green. The Wizards' cusp-of-All-Star shooting guard trying to take down, albeit from behind, the embodiment of the Warriors' understated toughness.
Beal, in that moment, wanted to mix it up with Green. Up 14, he wasn't afraid of reprisal, of awakening the big bad Warriors. It was right in line with the intent the Wizards played with Friday night at Oracle Arena. The same Wizards who just choked a game away to the Lakers.
Not only were they not afraid. They wanted to strut the Warriors.
