Draymond Green assessed flagrant foul for hit on LeBron James

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was assessed a flagrant foul 1 on Monday night after a hard collision with Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James midway through the second quarter.

James was in full sprint in transition when Green tried to cut him off near half court. Green ran shoulder-first into James' chest area, and the Cavaliers star fell to the floor upon contact.

Green checked on James but seemed to think the four-time MVP had flopped and was milking the collision by remaining on the floor, and appeared to mock James' tumble.
