The fourth quarter and overtime weren't pretty for the Warriors last night against the Grizzlies.
The Dubs blew a 24-point second-half lead as the Grizzlies came back to win in the extra period.
One particularly tense moment came after Kevin Durant waived off a play call to isolate from the top of the key. He ended the possession missing a 3-pointer from the top of the key and Draymond Green let him hear about it after.
KD can't be used to a teammate getting in his face like that.
After the game, Green had this to say:

“Our fourth quarter offense has been atrocious,” he said. “Everyone only notices it in losses. I actually pay attention to things when you win also because I could really care less – I’m actually happy we lost today, because there are some things that we need to correct in order to win a championship.
“That’s our goal – trying to win a championship,” he continued. “Trying to win every regular season game – it really don’t matter. I want to see us get better each and every time we step on the floor, and I don’t feel like that’s been happening for the things that we need to get better at. I’m kind of thrilled we lost because you usually make corrections when you lose.”
Draymond was asked about his exchange with KD and he said that he thought they should've stayed with the pick-and-roll that was originally called.

The Warriors are far from panicking yet as they still possess the best record in the NBA at 31-6. But life isn't perfect for them either and any hiccup is worth monitoring.
