The Golden State Warriors criticized the refs following their 131-130 overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

They were especially critical of a call made when they were down 130-127 with 4.4 seconds in overtime. Kevin Durant received an inbounds pass, quickly turned, and hit a 3. Ref Marat Kogut whistled for a foul on Keita Bates-Diop, saying it came before the act of shooting.

"Did I think it was before the shot? I just watched the replay. He caught and he shot -- it's a four-point play. I mean, I don't know what else to say. Kind of mind-boggling. You catch and you go up for a shot, and you get fouled in any league -- any league -- that's a good bucket and a free throw. Any league, not just the NBA," said Kerr.

Steph Curry hit a 3 on the following sequence to tie the game as several Warriors players pointed at Kogut.

The refs then whistled Kevin Durant for a foul with 0.5 seconds off the ensuing inbounds play. Karl-Anthony Towns hit 1 of 2 free throws to win the game.

When asked which call was worse, Curry responded "you'd have to ask the MVP of tonight. Marat Kogut."

"Marat was his name? He was the best player on the floor tonight. He made sure that -- he's so good with his whistle that he knew they were gonna foul me, and he called it right before I shot the ball. So he's one of the greatest refs of all time," added Durant.

The Boston Celtics banned a fan for the rest of this season and next season for yelling a racial slur at DeMarcus Cousins.

The incident took place when the Warriors visited Boston in January. Cousins told Celtics security that the fan "muttered the n-word." The fan was then removed from the stadium.

The Warriors were recently notified of the punishment. 

Jordan Bell was suspended for 1 game after it was discovered that he made a purchase at the team hotel in Memphis that would eventually be charged to Mike Brown's account. The item or the amount remains unclear.

Hotel rooms are paid for by the team, but incidentals such as snacks and movies get charged to a personal card as part of an employee's per diem.

This was not the first time that Bell has charged an item on someone else's account, according to a source.

Kevin Durant scored 28 points by shooting 12-13 from the field, turning in the most efficient scoring performance of his career as the Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 118-103.

"My second year in the league. I started charting my shots and makes and misses throughout the game. That kind of reminded me to take good shots and it keeps me locked in on the flow of the game. So I guess it's a game within a game," said Durant.

Durant is 17-19 from the field in his last two games.

"The game's easy for Kevin. It just is. I don't think there's ever been anybody as skilled at his size in the history of the league, so he just does whatever he wants," added Steve Kerr.

Jordan Bell was suspended by the Golden State Warriors for Wednesday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

"The release was self-explanatory. He was suspended for tonight's game, conduct detrimental to the team. Beyond that, it's our business, nobody else's, so we'll move on," said Steve Kerr.

Bell is averaging 3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season.

Steve Kerr said there was no communication on defense following the Golden State Warriors' 126-91 loss at home to the Dallas Mavericks.

"Defensively, we were not connected. We weren't talking, and we got off to that slow start. And Dallas is always a hard team to guard -- they execute well, and I think they made 12 3s in the first half, 21 for the game. A lot of miscommunication -- but we just couldn't pull together after that slow start," said Kerr.

Kevin Durant was unconcerned about the loss.

"It's not odd at all. I think everybody in that locker room has gotten their asses beat at home before. I know this experience is different, how much winning we've done the last few years. But we're still in the NBA; guys have been a part of terrible games, along with the great games, as well. The good thing about it, we play tomorrow night too," said Durant.

Klay Thompson said his goal is to make the NBA All-Defensive Team sometime in his career.

"I'm not a steals guy, but we have to have some great defenders on this team. We've been in first place for four out of five freaking years. So at the end of the day we have to have some great defenders. It's not just all offense with this team. We got guys that play that side of the ball."It's always been a goal of mine. I pride myself on playing on both sides of the ball. It would be awesome to make All-Defensive Team before it's all said and done," said Thompson.

Thompson also addressed the nature of day-to-day perception in the modern era.

"At the end of the day, the love from the media and fans can be fickle, just because it's so game-to-game. We live in a time where it's 'What have you done for me lately?' You can't get caught up in the love right now."

Draymond Green said that the Golden State Warriors' focus is on winning a third straight NBA title and not on Kevin Durant's upcoming free agency. 

“He’s part of it right now. Whatever happens this summer happens. Whatever the hell he do, he does. If he go, he go. If he stay, he stay. But while he’s here, we’re going to win another championship. It’s just that simple. Nothing else matters," said Green.

Green added that there are no lingering effects from their confrontation last November.

“It’s not important. We’re not about to sit around and walk around, or carry something around, that happened in November.”

DeMarcus Cousins underwent an MRI on his sore right ankle and the results came back negative.

Cousins will sit out Golden State's game on Monday against the Spurs.

Cousins is listed as day-to-day moving forward.

Following the Golden State Warriors' 106-104 win at the Houston Rockets in which he played the best game of his tenure with the team, DeMarcus Cousins compared this season to being in the middle of a soap opera.

"Oh, it's something every day," Cousins said. "It's like my grandmother -- when I was younger, she had this show she used to watch. I'm sure y'all heard of it -- 'As the World Turns.' She called it her story: 'I gotta watch my story.' I used to watch it with her; and every episode, it was something. That's what this has turned into -- 'As the World Turns.'"

"The NBA is a soap opera in itself," Green said with a smile. "It's probably the best soap opera in the world. If you want to put it in those terms then, yeah, I'm sure it is. Because you got the NBA, which is a soap opera, and then you got this team, which is right in the middle of that entire soap opera. And then he get thrusted into that team that's right in the middle of it. So ... it's interesting."
