OG Anunoby and I were sitting there having a conversation and he came and joined in and he told me, "You gonna start talking in the last minute and a half of the game? You're a front runner." One thing Karl-Anthony Towns can't do is call me a front runner. His voice changes too much to call someone a front runner because we don't really know which cat we getting. I was talking the whole game. I always talk the whole game when I'm in that mode, as you could see by the first post-up, and he tried to back down and the wall didn't move. And you try to back down and the wall didn't move. And then you try to, ah, and the wall doesn't move. So the 7-foot, 290-pounder versus the 6'7", 240 pounds, then shoots a falling fadeaway off one leg, brick. When he catch the ball, I'm looking like, and the bench see it, and then they see that man can't move the brick wall. Me talking to him the whole game, he too little. You decided to stay quiet the whole game. Your coaching staff tried to get me off you. Mike Brown started talking junk for him. Rick Brunson came off the bench, started talking junk for him. Like, "Hey, you gonna get off my man." And I'm like, "OG, I gotta get at him." OG Anunoby tried to take up for him. OG like, "Man, Draymond Green, let him live, man. You gotta get off it." You know, I just said some choice words to him. Nothing disrespectful, by the way. I ain't call him out his name or nothing like that, but just some choice words of what I think he is on the basketball court. But then I also proceeded to say, "But by the way, your dad is amazing. I love OG Towns, man."
