On Monday night, the Oakland Athletics crushed the Texas Rangers 14-5 much like the Golden State Warriors often dominated opponents this season. Maybe the reason behind the performance was that a certain Warrior was in attendance? Eh, probably not.
Draymond Green was suspended from Game 5 of the NBA Finals Monday night and wasn’t allowed to watch the game from inside Oracle Arena. So he simply went next door instead and took in the baseball game.
Oracle shares a parking lot with the Oakland Coliseum, the home of the Athletics and Raiders.

Even though Green was in attendance for the A’s thumping the Rangers, he was likely probably watching the Warriors’ game on a TV in the suite, Green and company took advantage of the wealth of food options at the Coliseum.
We’d like to think Draymond went for the pun and only ate from the “Green Menu,” but we’re not sure. Maybe a salad or sirloin burger bar would’ve made the Game 5 loss easier to swallow.
Game 6 of the NBA Finals is Thursday at 9:00 pm EST in Cleveland. Golden State currently leads the series 3-2.
