Draymond Green summoned a highly energized performance that set a tone for the Warriors’ 121-106 win over the Lakers in Game 5 of their playoff series.
“I was like alright, let’s go.”
“I loved his approach to the game,” coach Steve Kerr said. “He was aggressive right from the start. Picked up a foul on the first play and didn’t care. Made no bones about it. He's like, ‘I'm coming. I'm coming.’” Green’s base statistics -- 20 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, plus-13 over 30 minutes -- merely hint at his impact. He consistently made effective plays, putting his teammates in position to thrive and, moreover, consistently making the Lakers uncomfortable.
