Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green says he could tell shooting guard Klay Thompson was pissed after the Warriors' Game 1 loss to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals.
Green knew by the way Thompson was walking off the floor that the sharpshooter was heated about losing Game 1. The Warriors didn't look like the juggernaut they are in Game 1 and lost by nine points.
Draymond Green: "Klay’s not one to just walk around showing emotion, but you kind of get, you can get a feel for when he is pissed off. I got that feeling. You could just see it when he was walking off the floor (after Game 1). Like, there’s a certain bounce that he has."

Thompson finished with 21 points in Game 1. He shot 8-of-17 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Klay also picked up a rare technical foul.
This is what you want to see from your star players. Thompson, Green and the rest of the Warriors players want to win every game. Dubs fans should be happy to hear that the team was upset after losing Game 1. Champions never enjoy the taste of defeat.
Game 2 is on Sunday. Kevin Durant has already been ruled out. Stephen Curry and Thompson will get their usual 20-plus points, but the rest of the players — including Green — need to shoot the ball better. Green had a triple-double in Game 1, but he shot just 22 percent from the field.
Losing by just nine points, the Warriors should be confident heading into Game 2. They didn't play their best basketball and were only down by three points at one point in the fourth quarter.
