Golden State star Draymond Green is taking issue with being fined $25,000 for a skirmish with Washington's Bradley Beal, saying he was trying to protect himself from Beal and players from the Wizards' bench. On Sunday, the NBA fined Green and Beal for fighting during a game Friday night and also suspended Washington guard Carrick Felix and forward Markieff Morris one game apiece for leaving the bench area during the scuffle.
