Durant: Exchange with Draymond 'wasn't an argument'
While it certainly appeared to be more serious, Kevin Durant says his heated discussion with Draymond Green on Friday night was nothing more than a simple pep talk.
"He's an emotional guy," Durant told reporters Saturday. "It wasn't an argument at all. It wasn't a disagreement. I felt like Draymond was emotional and something was bothering him and he came to talk to me. I didn't take it personally."

The lanky forward didn't get into specifics, but it appeared that Draymond was upset with Durant after he called for an iso play late in the fourth quarter.
"That's on me," Durant said. "I felt like I had a matchup I liked, and I should've let Steph set the screen for me."
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr echoed Durant's sentiments, saying that the altercation wasn't as heated as it may have appeared.
"Not a big deal," Kerr told Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group. "Typical teammate interaction."
