After the Golden State Warriors handily beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, Draymond Green was giving a postgame interview when Dahntay Jones decided to give Green a shoulder bump.
Green obviously wasn’t pleased with the gesture, but he refrained from saying anything when it happened.

However, after the game, Green had no problem putting Jones on blast for his extracurricular activities.
It was beautiful.
It’s hard to pick out a favorite burn here because Green speaks so matter-of-factly about the whole incident.
“I think he wanted a reaction from me, but he don’t play.”
“Me getting suspended and him getting suspended, it’s different.”
“I definitely expect that to be reviewed by the NBA. You know, for him to look at me and look at me again and bump me when I’m doing a post-game interview. That’s really smart too when it’s on ABC.”
“He got camera time, which he needed because there wasn’t much celebration from their bench today, so you didn’t see him much.”
It’s impossible to pick a favorite.
Now, this is a textbook example of how to deal with instigators.
