In this story:

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors had their season come to an end Tuesday night with a 118–94 loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA play-in tournament.

While the Warriors and their fans must have been feeling awful after the game, one player on the Phoenix Suns was really happy to see the result.

We're talking, of course, about Jusuf Nurkic.

The Suns center has had a beef with Green ever since the Warriors star hit him in the face during a game in December. Green was ejected from that contest and later suspended 12 games.

Nurkic tweeted this after the Warriors' loss to the Kings:

He then followed up with this tweet:

Yup, he definitely enjoyed seeing the Warriors' season come to an end.
