Meanwhile, some slammed the referees for being too soft. One pointed out that they were just jealous that Oubre didn't give blow them a kiss.

It was a frustrating call for Oubre's part, as he's fond of such antics. Good for him, the Warriors completed a 19-point comeback to beat the reigning champions. He also recorded a season-high 23 points, to go along with four rebounds, two blocks and two steals. He shot 9-of-18 from the field and 2-of-8 from downtown.

From the looks of it, Oubre is getting comfortable with his new team. He struggled in the first few games with underwhelming shot percentages and low-IQ decisions. However, Monday's big win could be a sign of great things to come for him and the Warriors.
