Cleveland shot just 35.2 percent (31 for 88) overall. Beyond embarrassed, Cavs players made for the tunnel before the final buzzer even sounded.

The latest altercation between Green and James came with 6:55 left in the first half. Golden State led 52-35 when James collided with Green near midcourt, resulting in a flagrant 1 foul on Golden State's emotional All-Star. Green's arm extended across the upper body of James, who went down hard and lay on the court. Green reacted by appearing to mock James for flopping — and he wasn't the only one to sense some embellishment from LeBron.

"Flagrant 1 on Draymond? What has happened to my league?" former player-turned-analyst Reggie Miller posted on Twitter.

After a long replay review, a double technical was called on Green and Richard Jefferson.

This tension goes back a while: Green was suspended for Game 5 of last season's NBA Finals after swiping at James' groin the previous game. The absence of Green helped swing the series.

After Curry's pull-up 3 moments before halftime Monday sent his team into the break with a 78-49 lead, the star guard did what looked like a little celebratory breakdancing move on his behind at the sideline.
