OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Could anything not go the way of the Golden State Warriors this season?

Even the referees are in on the gig. Forward Draymond Green found that out when he was called for his third foul in Tuesday's 123-110 win against the Houston Rockets.

On the play, Green goes up to defend Houston's Patrick Beverley. Green swats Beverley's shot in what appears to be a clean block, but the referee calls a foul. Green later approached the referee and had an animated discussion, before the referee noticeably says: "I'm wrong."

Green, 25, is sprouting even taller this season, in the shadow of an NBA championship. The No. 35 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft is averaging 14.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game this season. Green also leads the league in triple-doubles. He was also voted to his first All-Star game this season and signed a five-year, $82 million deal in July.

Green had eight points, nine rebounds, and five assists in the victory.
