Draymond Green insists he’s not trying to bait Rajon Rondo into on-court spats

NEW ORLEANS — After the Warriors’ Game 3 loss Friday night to the Pelicans, Draymond Green made one thing certain: He isn’t trying to bait Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo into on-court confrontations.

"At some point, somebody has to tell the truth, and I know that's not quite the DNA these days of people telling the truth," Green said. "But at some point, y'all got to tell the truth. Draymond ain't trying to bait nobody. I'm chilling. Playing basketball. I look forward to y'all telling the truth one day. Maybe it won't happen. I ain't expecting it, but I do look forward to it."

Rondo, a master at getting into opponents’ heads, seems intent on luring Green into his first technical foul of these playoffs.
