The Warriors got the win on Tuesday night, but based on Kevin Durant's demeanor during his postgame media availability, it was evident that the recent confrontation with Draymond Green was still very much on his mind.
As expected, Durant was peppered with questions about Monday's spat with Green, which occurred prior to the beginning of the overtime period of their eventual loss to the Clippers. The two players were seen arguing on the bench after squandering a chance to win the game in the final seconds of regulation.
Fast-forward to Tuesday night, and despite a better result on the hardwood, Durant was not in a mood to provide additional context surrounding the disagreement. See for yourself.
Q: Have you and Draymond been able to hash anything out?
Durant: "Nah."
Q: Do you see that happening any time soon?
Durant: "I'm sure we will. Got a long season ahead."

Q: Did he cross the line with anything last night that was said?
Durant: "I'm going to keep that in house. That's what we do here. Obviously I know you guys got a job to do, but I'm not trying to give nobody no headlines. What happened, happened. We trying to move on, play basketball."
Q: Will this make you stronger?
Durant: "Who knows. We'll see."
Q: How would you describe your friendship with Draymond?
Durant: "I don't really think that even matters at this point right now. We just had a game. Anybody going to talk about the game?"
Green's one-game suspension is up after Golden State's win over the Hawks on Tuesday night, so he'll be rejoining the team ahead of their upcoming three-game road trip. Is there concern this controversy could follow the Warriors not just to Texas, but throughout the rest of the season?
"Sh-- happens in the NBA," said Durant.
Time will tell.
