After the game, Draymond Green said he doesn't think the Grizzlies and Warriors are rivals.   

Reporter: "Why don't you consider this a rivalry?" 

Green: "One team has to win, and then another team has to win. That's what creates a rivalry. Not because one team gets up for you and talk like they can beat you and then not. That doesn't create a rivalry. Rivalries are created by you win, I win. Clearly, we won four times, and I think their organization has zero championships, so I can't consider that a rivalry."

Reporter: "When you say win, you ain't talking about in March?"

Green: "Anybody can win in March. Anybody can win in March. What that mean? I have a hard time getting out of my bed in March. What's a game in March mean?"
