Sensitive content

Draymond Green just wanted to give one quick postgame statement: “The agenda to continue to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”

Steph Curry warming up in some Nikes tonight in San Antonio

Anthony Edwards on the confrontation: “Competition at the highest level. We want to win. Finchy want to win. Tony Brothers is Tony Brothers. We all love him.”

Anthony Edwards appeared to take a knee-to-knee shot on that Cam Johnson drive to his left knee. Needed help to get to the locker room.

Jimmy Butler can’t put weight on his right knee. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga helping him to the locker room after a concerning scene in Chase Center.

Nikola Jokic on Nuggets coach David Adelman: “It’s not his fault we couldn’t rebound. It’s not his fault we couldn’t catch the ball very well. There is nothing to blame David Adelman. It’s all us.”

Kristaps Porzingis said he’s “back at it” tomorrow vs Celtics. Team listing him as questionable so he didn’t want to say for certain, but it’s clear he plans to make his Warriors debut. “Feeling good. Ready to go.”

Jimmy Butler: “I hate to give Buddy a compliment, so I’m not going to. But #7 on our team really brought the defensive mentality tonight and made some open shots.”

This Sacramento crowd is already full and lit up more than 20 minutes before tip. Here they are welcoming the Kings out of the tunnel.

Jonathan Kuminga told me the aspect of the no-call that set him off (and led to his first career ejection) was the trip/clip of his right ankle from behind. Same ankle he badly injured last season. Gave him a concerning flashback. Was hurting a bit postgame but said he's fine.

Jimmy Butler when asked if he’s playing in Miami tomorrow night: “Who knows? We’ll see how we feel when we wake up.” On his fourth quarter jostling with Jalen Suggs: “Y’all done?”

An animated Steve Kerr on the sidelines tonight. Warriors left Keyonte George (15 first quarter points) wide open on the weak side. Kerr (top right of screen) was already walking onto court to call timeout before it went in and started ripping into his players.

Two factors of note on defensive stop to send it to OT. Jimmy Butler nudges Kuminga out to stick on Aaron Gordon. Then Kuminga flies in to tap away possible Jokic putback. Kuminga earning closing responsibilities in jumbo lineup tonight.

Jonathan Kuminga exited the game in San Antonio after this fall

Klay Thompson arrives at Chase Center to a line of 400 employees in captain hats

Kristaps Porzingis going through a pregame warmup in Phoenix trying to loosen up that right ankle

The Timberwolves were held to 35 points in the first half tonight. Fell down by 47. Chris Finch on the team’s biggest offensive problem: “We gotta go somewhere. We are kind of dribbling and going nowhere.”

Jalen Williams getting shots up pregame in Oklahoma City with that recovering right wrist. Team announced he had a screw removed from it 11 days ago because of irritation in late stages of his rehab.

Yaxel Lendeborg on his early conversations with Steve Kerr: “He doesn’t normally play rookies as much. He has a history of that. But the way the team is looking right now, I’m going to have a really good chance to play, maybe even start.”

Jimmy Butler on new Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg: “I know that guy be speaking his mind. I like that.” “He plays tough. He is tough. I bet he plays dominos, too. I’m gonna have to crack his head in that.” Full soundbite

Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.” Changes needed? “That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”

Jaden McDaniels on Victor Wembanyama: “He’s eight feet tall. He contests everything. He’s just good at his job.” “When I see myself on film next to him, he look tall as hell.”

Nuggets coach David Adelman on Jaden McDaniels calling the Nuggets defenders out by name “I can’t wait for his podcast.” “It’ll help his social media.” “What’s our defensive rating in this series?” 109 “How is that?” Sixth best in the playoffs “Ok. Next.”

Yaxel Lendeborg on his outlook as an NBA shooter “I definitely think I can be in the 37 (percent) plus range from 3.”

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “It was a failure. I failed at my goal. I didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. But through those experiences, I learn the most about myself and make the greatest amount of increases in my career when I fail."

Here’s the friendly postgame scene between the Nuggets and Timberwolves beginning with Jokic and McDaniels

Mike Dunleavy on the Jonathan Kuminga trade demand: “I’m aware of that. In terms of demands, when you make a demand there needs to be demand.”

Jaden McDaniels on the late layup that incited a skirmish: “Clock still be running. So I’m going to go score.” Did Nikola Jokic say anything to him? “I don’t know what he said, to be honest. I just seen someone who was big as hell.”

The Timberwolves felt "at least four" of Victor Wembanyama's 12 blocks were goaltends. Chris Finch: "You know the value of eight points in an NBA game? That's 33 percent of his blocks." Rudy Gobert joked: "I want that type of treatment, too."

Mike Dunleavy on his pre-pick interaction with Joe Lacob: “We got into it about the best golf course in San Francisco.” Later said there was some discussion about possible trades before they took Yaxel Lendeborg

The Warriors have been hesitant in past transaction cycles to trade for Anthony Davis due to contract/assets required. There’s also the Jimmy Butler side of the equation. Quick SportsCenter hit on a developing situation

Steve Kerr called the arena atmosphere in Minneapolis today one of the most “bizarre, sad” vibes he’s experienced at a game Warriors blew out the Timberwolves. “Honestly what I felt was that their group was suffering.”

Anthony Edwards on Steph Curry: “That’s my boy. Love Steph.” “To me, greatest point guard.” “He actually don’t know a lot of rap music. That’s the best thing I learned about him.”

Draymond Green on Victor Wembanyama vocalizing his MVP case: “I hated it…and I absolutely loved it.” Green has been vocal in the past on DPOY: “You don’t help them see it, damnit they can’t see.” Full passionate five-minute soundbite

Moses Moody spoke to reporters last night about his patella injury -He said type of tear was best-case scenario: “Straight from the bone.” -His knee has been bothering him since high school and “it’s all been patella tendon, so I’m glad to get it fixed.” Full sound

Anthony Edwards full media availability “We started the game too cool.” On the doubles: “They was playing crazy, right?” Is he ready to start? “That’s not up to me.” Ready to up minutes? “Whatever’s required.” On Finch saying they got punked: “Punked is crazy.”

Nikola Jokic on SGA tying Wilt with 126 consecutive 20-point games “I don’t know that people know how hard it is to do that. To make 20 pointsin 10 (straight) games, not 120 whatever it is, it’s special. He’s a special player.”
