Kevin Durant had no problem telling Isaiah Thomas to get up as the shorthanded Golden State Warriors had carved up a double-digit lead on the Los Angeles Lakers in the winding minutes of the fourth quarter.
“Get yo a** up,” said Durant, as Thomas remained on the ground following a blocking foul call on Durant's hometown friend Quinn Cook, who fouled out in the play.
Durant was clearly not pleased with the call, as it looked like Thomas had fallen on his own after slipping near the baseline.
Fully aware of his 13 technical fouls on the season, Durant re-directed his emotions toward an exhausted Thomas, who had been carving up the Warriors from deep in a 5-of-9 shooting night from beyond the arc, finishing with 20 points.
Durant can't afford any more technicals during this dire stretch of the season, as the lone scoring option for a team that played without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green on Wednesday night during a 117-106 win.
Even if it's Thomas who has to take his anger.
