1. A Warriors fan says the police are wrong

Wiener, however, says he was standing to the right of the deputy when he saw Ujiri trying to get on the court at the end of the game.

"He didn't hit him in the face, he shoved him in the chest," Wiener said. "He was excited his team just won, he wanted to get on the court."

Wiener says Ujiri's credentials were in his hands and not clearly visible to the deputy when he tried to go onto the court. The deputy stopped him and Ujiri stepped back, before trying to go forward again. When Ujiri was stopped by the deputy again, Wiener said Ujiri pushed the deputy in the chest with two hands.

The whole incident was very quick, Wiener said, about 25 seconds or less. He plans to make a statement to Oakland police next week.
