Kevin Durant And Carmelo Anthony Drew Technicals After Some Shoving And Jawing

It seems like every time the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder take the floor against one another, someone manages to get someone on the other team riled up. On Saturday, we got the latest chapter in this rivalry, and to the surprise of no one, there was a minor altercation between the two teams.

Late in the second quarter of their matchup, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant got into it with one another. The Thunder were on offense, and Anthony looked like he was trying to set a screen on Durant, who was guarding Paul George.

But instead of setting a screen, Anthony hugged the reigning NBA Finals MVP. Durant tried to push him away, which led to a shove from Anthony. The pair then got face-to-face and had to be separated by teammates and officials.

A little more than a minute later, Draymond Green picked up a technical of his own. Green fouled Jerami Grant, and after the play, looked like he tried to pump up the crowd by screaming and throwing his arms in the air. The official must have thought Green might have been screaming at him, and for that reason gave him a tech.

The Warriors have shown a propensity for picking up technical fouls this season, and seeing as how the Thunder are really good at poking and prodding Golden State, it isn’t a massive shock that some T’s were given out in the first half on Saturday.
