Kevin Durant, Draymond Green Confrontation Carried Into Locker Room
Green grabbed a rebound off a Clippers miss with six seconds left and instead of passing to Durant, who was calling for the ball on the way upcourt, took the ball himself and ended up turning the ball over with a chance to win the game.
Green was also challenged by his teammates after a costly turnover in OT. Additionally, the conflict wasn't just limited to Green and Durant as others confronted Green for his late-game decision-making.
