NBA fans are calling for Draymond Green to be suspended for the remainder of the series between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. The Warriors have made it a series, trimming the Kings' lead to 2-1 with a huge win in Game 3 on Thursday.

Green was suspended by the league for the third game for stomping on Domantas Sabonis' chest in Game 2. Sabonis suffered a sternum contusion but played on Thursday.

The NBA based Green's suspension on his history of unsportsmanship during his career. The Warriors were in danger of going down 3-0 but proved that they might not need him in the series following a dominant 114-97 win at home.

Fans on social media were ecstatic at the Golden State Warriors' win. Some are even calling for Draymond Green to sit out the entire series to give the defending champions a chance to move into the second round. One fan said:

"Suspend draymond for the rest of the series."

Here are some of the reactions to the Warriors' win over the Kings in Game 3:

The Golden State Warriors were also without Gary Payton II in Game 3. Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave a start to Jordan Poole, with Klay Thompson moving to small forward and Andrew Wiggins at power forward.

Golden State played better in Game 3 in front of their home crowd. They had one of the best home records in the NBA during the regular season. Their offense also looked more fluid on Thursday, and the spacing was much better than in the first two games.
