It was an eventful night for the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Early on, it looked like the Warriors were going to cruise to an easy win against the Memphis Grizzlies. But, Golden State ran into issues, the Grizzlies rallied and eventually won in overtime.

On the court, Draymond Green seemed less than thrilled late in the game. He got into an animated conversation with Kevin Durant on the floor after Durant took a questionable shot late in the fourth quarter.
After the game, however, Green said he was actually happy the Warriors lost the game.
In the grand scheme of things, he could easily be right. A single game during the regular season isn’t going to mean much in the end to the Warriors. They are already well on their way to securing the No. 1 seed in the West. But, fixing some issues now could pay dividends in the playoffs.
That doesn’t mean Green thought everything was sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. During the same press conference, he was also critical of Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr and Steph Curry.
So, that’s a heated conversation with Durant and subtle criticism of Kerr, Curry and Thompson all in the span of about 30 minutes. If Draymond is happy, he has a weird way of showing it.
