Are the Warriors to proud with their performance? Or why else would their player mock the opponents? According to reports, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant of the Warriors laughed at the Jazz over fighting to the finish in their loss to them in an NBA home game on Thursday (December 8).

With the Jazz down by 10 points against the Warriors, the former's head coach Quin Snyder called as many as three timeouts in the final 1:05 to see his team rally back into the game, said reports. Durant was slapped with a technical foul for arguing a call in the final 10 seconds and soon after he was seen chuckling with Green.

Green later revealed the reason for the joke. He told reporters that they were laughing because Snyder kept on calling timeouts.

"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," he told journalists later.

Steve DelVecchio of Larry Brown Sports said in a report: "We'd say Green wasn't trying to sound arrogant, but how else can you interpret that?"

Green's 'antics' were seen before as well

He said Jazz certainly had no chance of coming back into the game but yet they did nothing wrong in adopting such a strategy and playing till the last whistle. DelVecchio also reminded of Green's "antics" in the game against the Los Angeles Clippers when Clippers' Blake Griffin accused him of hitting him in the sensitive area.

A week ago, Green "lost control" of his legs and kicked Houston Rockets' James Harden in the head. Durant, on the other hand, told journalists that the technical was "stupid" on his end, tweeted Anthony Slater of Bay Area News Group.

The Warriors have won 20 games, the only team to do so in the current season so far, while lost only three, the least number among all teams.
