NBA Finals: Draymond Green says they beat Celtics “because of our defense”
BOSTON — Cigar smoke seeped out of the visiting locker room along with the stench of champagne. A loud chant came with it.This time, the chant wasn’t a taunt from Boston Celtics fans. It came from Draymond Green’s teammates in celebration.
But none of the Warriors’ success exists without a top defense and the dirty work Green has always carried with pride. It’s a job that earns him a flood of scrutiny when he slips up. And a few bad games in these Finals had him drowning; was his podcast distracting him from the task at hand? Was his below average offense dragging down their late-game execution? Green was benched during the offensive possessions in crunch time of the Warriors’ Game 4 win last week.
The Celtics were supposed to be the juggernaut defense. They came into the Finals with the league’s best defensive rating, expected to stoke fear in the Warriors’ hearts. But Golden State flipped the script. In all four of their wins they held Boston under 100 points and made budding superstar Jayson Tatum look pedestrian.
