SAN FRANCISCO — There’s nothing more unrelenting than a Warriors’ 3-point shooting avalanche, and often an amped-up Draymond Green’s voice triggers the cascade. So when Green starts talking — loud — teammates who know him best know it’s time to lock in.
Once longtime foe CJ McCollum ticked him off, Green was in everyone’s ear and in their face. He drew a technical foul, a Flagrant 1 and was a team-high plus-26 as the Warriors overcame a 20-point deficit in the second half to“Draymond willed us to victory,” Steve Kerr said after the game. “His intensity, his frustration with the way we were playing. Mad at the world, yelling at everybody. Our bench, their bench, me. Frankly, we all deserved it.
“This is the first time I’ve seen him get like that this year,” Kevon Looney said. “It happened a few times during the playoffs last year. Finals, Memphis series it happened a couple times. During the regular season, he usually doesn’t get like that. This time of year, it’s different because every game is like a playoff game. He usually saves that for the playoffs when it’s time to win.”
At that point, Green had the entire team “riding with him.” And they knew before the fouls, before McCollum decided to stir the pot, that an amped Green was brewing.
