Draymond Green lets out a ‘hell no’ after shoving the Thunder

Draymond Green he did not pause when asked if he was Golden State Warriors could take any moral victory from a 124-112 loss to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. The 19-year veteran of the Warriors shook his head and answered as only he can.

“Hell no,” Green he said dully when I speak to the media after the game.

Golden State beat the Thunder 21-1 deeper in the fourth quarter than expected. This happened without Stephen Curry and with Jimmy Butler sidelined after halftime with a sore left knee. The Warriors trailed by 19 at halftime. However, they came back behind Jonathan Cumminga, Pat Spencer and Buddy Hield, outscoring Oklahoma City 44-28 in the third quarter to cut the deficit to one.

The flurry didn’t change Green’s attitude. He praised the effort but insisted the Warriors need sharper execution.

“We just played with more power on both sides of the ball,” Green said. “We moved the ball offensively, got going downhill and got layoffs, which allowed offensive rebound opportunities. We played with a lot more energy in the second half.”

Seth Curry and Pat Spencer give the Warriors highlights against the Thunder

Seth Curry provided the most brilliant highlight of the evening. Signed earlier this week, the 35-year-old guard made his season debut with the Warriors and scored 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting in 18 minutes. His movement and shooting stabilized Golden State’s offense and helped spark a third-quarter rally.

Spencer continued his rise, scoring 17 points and providing Golden State with an interior presence, while Green anchored the defense amid foul trouble. Still, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 38 points and Isaiah Joe’s late burst of shooting kept Oklahoma City in check.

Green took the blame for miscommunication during the Thunder’s decisive 18-5 run, but said the Warriors learned how little margin for error there is without their stars.

“I didn’t learn a lot. But I hope our guys learned that if we play hard, we can compete with anybody,” Green said. “(The) margin for error is smaller, but give yourself a chance.”

The Warriors begin a three-game road trip Thursday in Philadelphia, still searching for consistency and uninterested in consolation prizes.
