Draymond Green 'happy' about Warriors' meltdown vs. Grizzlies image

Draymond Green was pragmatic about Golden State's meltdown against the Grizzlies on Friday night.

The Warriors blew a 24-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost the game in overtime, 128-119.

“I’m actually happy we lost today,” Green said, via the San Francisco Chronicle. “There are some things we need to correct to win a championship.”

Head coach Steve Kerr said the team's body language language was bad and that the fourth quarter was terrible. Green agreed.

"Our fourth-quarter offense has been atrocious, and I don't know if you could see," Green said. "Everyone only notices in losses, but I actually pay attention to things when we win also."

With some big changes during the offseason, including acquiring Kevin Durant, the team is still getting to know each other.

That much is evident, since the Grizzlies are the first team in two years to beat Golden State twice in one season.

"We just haven't executed very well," Kerr said, via ESPN.com. "Maybe that's something that we can do better as a coaching staff, trying to get guys in better position. We'll look at the tape and continue to experiment and try different things. But we have to close games better and execute better offensively."
