How the Warriors can beat their Western Conference foe again — without Draymond Green.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Utah Jazz are the Golden State Warriors’ next challenge up without Draymond Green active. Good news for them, though. They’ve already beaten the Jazz this year without him.
The Jazz’s offense runs on a steady diet of three-pointers anchored by Rudy Gobert at center. The seven-footer may be able to get what he wants in the post and on the boards against an undersized Warriors team — he collected 20 points and 19 rebounds against the Warriors on Jan. 1 — but the Warriors can counter on their offensive end by spacing the floor.
Late-game heroics flipped him into the spotlight. Typically used as a catch-and-shoot stretch four — he’s shooting 38.2% percent on catch-and-shoot threes with a 56.4 field goal efficiency — Porter Jr. hit a handful of midrange shots to get the Warriors over the edge in a tight fourth quarter. Winning will come more easily when that percentage shoots back up closer to the 36.7% they shot from the beginning of the year until Christmas, ranked sixth best in the NBA over that span.
