Draymond Green, O.J. Mayo Have Postgame Altercation

Dec 19, 2015 1:22 PM

Draymond Green and Milwaukee guard O.J. Mayo had a heated exchange after the Golden State Warriors' 121-112 win Friday night, leading team security to get between Green and Bucks players.

Green held up his hand as Mayo made contact with Green's chest after the buzzer.

Green and Mayo then traded words and Mayo touched the back of Green's head.

"I'm not really into talking about what guys say. What you think he said he may not have said or he may have said," Green said in the locker room. "Just, ain't no man going to touch my head. I'm a grown man. That's all I've got for you."

Asked whether that was what the altercation was mostly about, Green said, "Once again, I'm not going to go into what he said, what you think he may have said, he may have said or may not have said, but no man is going to touch my head. Point blank."

According to Bucks players, Green's comments to the media earlier this week sparked the altercation

Warriors Looking Forward To 'Redemption Opportunity' Against Bucks

Dec 17, 2015 12:42 PM

The Golden State Warriors are looking forward to playing the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, less than a week after they were given their first loss of the season.

"Big opportunity to redeem ourselves," Stephen Curry said. "We remember what happened less than a week ago."

The Bucks celebrated the win, including a dunk and staredown at the Warriors' bench from Michael Carter-Williams. 

"Oh, it was a nice celebration. We do remember that stuff," Curry said. "We were kind of laughing at some of the stuff going on. It was a big game for them. Friday will be a big game for us."

"Michael Carter-Williams getting a dunk at the end of the game and looking at our bench like, 'Dude you lost your spot,'" Green said of Carter-Williams losing his job as a starter. "So, it's not quite common that you should be looking toward someone's bench yelling. You've got some ground to make up."
