Earlier in the game, Draymond Green appeared to pull the finger at Barnes after nailing a three in the third term while being left wide open.
Green, who finished with 21 points, four triples and seven assists, drew praise from Steve Kerr post-match after the pair’s in-game spat against the Orlando Magic earlier this week.
“Draymond was great, played his tail off. Great energy, great defence,” Kerr said.
“He did everything he could to help us win.
“Like I said, I feel like I let us down tonight.”
