The Golden State Warriors after losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder by 28 points, they extend their losing streak to four games. In the process, the Warriors were held to under 100 points for the second game in a row. Kevin Durant led the Warriors with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and three assists. Klay Thompson also chipped in with 27 points, four rebounds, and three assists.
2-time regular season MVP Stephen Curry has been absent due to a groin injury. This season the Warriors 2-7 without Curry on the floor. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson have been heavily relied on during the absents of both Draymond Green and Stephen Curry.
Last week and Kevin Durant and Draymond Green got into a verbal argument that led to Green being suspended for a game without pay. Yahoo Sportsโ Chris Hayes reported that the argument between the two multi-time all-stars consisted of Green telling Durant: โYouโre a bitch, and you know youโre a bitch.โ
Per Hayes, what led to Green suspension was him daring Kevin to leave in free agency next summer.
Stephen Curry spoke out about the situation between Durant and Green this past Saturday night before the Warriors took on the Dallas Mavericks.
The outside world might think the altercation between Durant and Green will be the beginning of the end for this Warrior team:
โThatโs not going to happen,โ Curry said.
โI think the way weโve handled it as a team, the way Draymondโs handled it, the way KDโs handled it, itโs been nothing but professionalism,โ Curry said.
โThey have a lot of equity built in their relationship,โ Curry said. โTheyโve won championships together. Theyโve brought out the best in each other. Obviously, I donโt think theyโve had an incident to this level, but you donโt have the experiences that youโve had and go through the journey that weโve been on and let it be derailed by something like that.โ
Klay Thompson also weighed in on the incident. โWin three games and then it is “in the past like a ponytail?”
.@KlayThompson has an interesting take on the @Money23Green–@KDTrey5 drama.

Thompson was actually quoting Drakeโs lyric from the song “Right Hand,” the full bar goes like this “My past behind me like a ponytail.”
I had a chance to speak briefly with Thompson and asked him was he aware that he was quoting Drake?
The three-time NBA Champion confirmed that knew was quoting Drizzy.
“Yes I knew I was during the press conference,” said Thompson.
