The reporter whose questions about the Tax Day Houston floods went viral and angered Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green reportedly has been fired.

Henry Wofford, the Warriors reporter for CSN Bay Area, tweeted Tuesday that the reporter, who apparently is based in Houston, was relieved of his duties an hour after the infamous news conference following Golden State's Game 4 victory Sunday afternoon at Toyota Center.

He's a 1st year reporter, born and raised in China. He was working for a Chinese publication, but based in Houston. Fired after Game 4. — Henry Wofford (@HWoffordSports) April 26, 2016

Between Games 3 and 4, Green was asked about the flooding the Houston area experienced last week. He described it as tragic and said he was praying for the city.

After the Warriors' Game 4 win, the reporter—whose name still hasn't been revealed publicly —asked Green an awkwardly worded question about the Warriors and their playoff visits to Houston the past two seasons. Last year, the city experienced severe flooding during the Rockets' Game 4 victory on Memorial Day, with fans even asked to stay inside Toyota Center instead of trying to drive home through the flooding.

"Draymond, here's an interesting question," the reporter said. "So last year you visit (Houston), Game 3 there's no flood, you win. Game 4, there was flood, you lose. This year you visit (Houston) ... Game 3 there's a flood, you lose. Game 4, there's no flood, you win ..."

At that point, Green lit into the reporter, whom he apparently had a history with.

"Brother, you asked me about the flood in practice the other day and I said I pray for the city of Houston, because you don't want to see anyone go through that," Green said. "I feel like you keep trying to get at like us hitting 3s or something and you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me, but you're not because I feel sorry for the people of Houston.

"People are losing their homes, losing their cars, losing their lives, losing loved ones and you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me about the 3s we're hitting. I know what you're getting at, but you're not getting that out of me."

After citing the $500,000 donation from Rockets owner Leslie Alexander to relief efforts, Green continued to upbraid the reporter.

"It sucks," Green said. "If I was from Houston, I'd do anything I can to help the city out, and I'm sure some of those guys are going to do what they can to help the city out. You saw a donation the other night.

"It sucks. Stop trying to do that. That's not cool, man. You keep asking me the same question about this flood. These people are losing their lives, bruh. Losing their homes. Don't ask me that no more, because it ain't cool and you're not getting the statement you want out of me. That's not cool, man. Stop doing that."

And apparently that reporter has paid the price for poking the bear.
