Draymond Green didn't mind letting Kevin Durant know exactly how he felt about his decision to call an isolation for himself late in the fourth quarter of the Warriors' overtime loss to the Grizzlies Friday night.
Green got right in Durant's face during the timeout after KD missed a 3-pointer and visibly laid into him.
A play was called for Durant to receive a pick from Stephen Curry at the top of the key, but KD went back to his OKC days deciding it would be better to go at it alone and hoist a three from the top of the key.
Durant didn't say much back to Green on the court it seemed and was asked about how it went down again today.

Durant went on to shoulder the blame for the bad decision late and not running the pick-and-roll with Steph.

Head coach Steve Kerr also thought he could've done a better job putting his players in better position to move the ball down the stretch.

This Warriors team will always be under the microscope. So when they blow a 24-point, second-half lead, it's going to be a big deal. The collapse was certainly troubling, but the Warriors still have the best record in the league at 31-6, and there's plenty of time for them to work out their downfalls.
