The Warriors' overtime loss to the Timberwolves on Friday was shrouded in controversy.
And Kevin Durant wasted no time jumping on social media to call out one of the refs, Leon Wood.

The call in question came after the Warriors had tied the game 130-130 in overtime on a dramatic Steph Curry corner 3-pointer.
With 0.5 seconds left on the clock, Anthony Tolliver tried to throw the inbounds pass to Karl-Anthony Towns. Durant appeared to hold on to Towns and Wood called him for the foul.

Town went to the line, made the first three throw and missed the second. The clock ran out and the Warriors lost 131-130.
"We deserved to play at least five more minutes of basketball," Durant told the media after the game in Minnesota.
Wood wasn't the only ref Durant went after. Marat Kogut was the one that called a foul on Durant's 3-pointer that was waved off prior to Curry's shot.
"Marat, he was the best player on the floor tonight," Durant said. "He's so good with his whistle that he knew they were going to foul me and he called it right before I shot the ball, so he's one of the greatest refs of all time."
Durant can expect to write a check to the NBA on Saturday.
