Kevin Durant and Draymond Green had to be physically separated at the end of regulation in the Golden State Warriors' overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

With five seconds remaining, both Green and Durant were in position for a rebound but Green grabbed it and then turned upcourt while ignoring Durant's plea for the ball. Green had the ball almost immediately poked away.

“Pass me the (expletive) ball!” Durant said to Green on the bench.

Andre Iguodala and DeMarcus Cousins intervened most significantly to settle both Green and Durant down.

“Just team spirit,” Shaun Livingston said. “Guys wanted a different outcome than what happened. Obviously Dray had the turnover, guys might have thought they were open or wanted the basketball, didn’t get it. Things happen like that in sports. But it was good to see some fire, some emotion.”

Green and Durant have had a number of spirited altercations in the past.

At first glance, this seems to support the narrative of Durant leaving GSW at the end of the year, but this situation is a non story. Heat of the moment, your team lost to a turnover in overtime. Disagreement on the bench. Next game

Too bad Durant never went alpha on Westbrook. That OKC team may have had a shot to win it all.

I WOuldnt say implode but I wouldn’t be shocked if they don’t win the title this year with all the egos to manage..

in the end i could all also pure talent pushing them to the ship. But it’s more in question than it might have been heading into the year without a doubt
