Matt Barnes says James Harden’s mother STARTED their heated verbal exchange during the last Clips vs. Rockets game … but says they’ve since buried the hatchet.
We broke the story … Harden’s mother Monja Willis says one of her sons confronted Barnes after the game and demanded an apology … to which Barnes obliged.
Now, Barnes is telling his side of the story … saying, “We’ve spoken twice since the incident … we’ve made our peace.”
Barnes wouldn’t give the details about what exactly was said between the two — but did admit he did NOT know the woman was Harden’s mother at the time of the trash talk.
As for the NBA — Matt says he’s been contacted by league officials … and expects to be fined.
