Referees admitted there was a miscommunication in which the scorer's table recorded a technical foul assessed to Steve Kerr as being given to Draymond Green.

John Gobble had called the technical foul on Kerr, but the official scorer did not correct the mistake.

"In the moment, I thought I had verbalized to the table that the technical foul was on Coach Kerr," Goble told a pool reporter after the game. "After looking at the video, I did not verbalize to the table. And looking at the video, I should have done a better job of making sure that the table knew the technical foul was on Coach Kerr."

Green said he believed that Davis, the referee who called the technical in the third quarter, did think it was Green's second technical foul and was prepared to eject him for a relatively mild reaction to a foul.

"It's crazy to think that [Davis] thought that was my second technical foul, and I would get a technical foul for that, but whatever," Green said.

"I thought they called [the first technical] on Draymond," Kerr said. "I thought I deserved it. But I thought I heard the PA announcer say that it was on Draymond. So then I thought the second one, Draymond was going to get kicked out, but they explained that the first one was on me."
