Draymond Green, Kevin Durant laughed at Jazz coach for not surrendering
The Utah Jazz fought to the finish in their loss to the mighty Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, and Draymond Green and Kevin Durant mocked them for it.
With his team down by double-digits late in the game, Jazz head coach Quin Snyder called three timeouts in the last 1:05 in an attempt to get his team to rally back. Durant ended up getting a technical foul for arguing a call during the last 10 seconds, and he and Green were seen chuckling shortly thereafter.
But they weren’t laughing about Durant getting T’ed up.

“We were laughing that Quin Snyder kept calling timeouts,” Green said. “Hey bro, you’re down 10 with six seconds left. It’s kind of over, my man. Let’s go, have a good dinner, just chill. That’s what we were laughing at.”
We’d say Green wasn’t trying to sound arrogant, but how else can you interpret that?
Even if the Jazz had virtually no chance of coming back, there’s nothing wrong with practicing late-game strategy and playing until the final whistle. Green, who has been up to his usual antics already this season, probably should have kept the details of his and Durant’s conversation to himself.
