Draymond Green’s Statement Game

In typical Golden State Warriors opponents fashion, they brought their best effort against a team that owned the best record and offense in the entire NBA. The Atlanta Hawks, with one of the best defenses in the league, after falling in a trap game the night before to the Los Angeles Lakers, hammered out their finest performance despite a 5 games in 7 nights schedule. The final word went to Draymond Green, who started last week with a public offering of himself as the Defensive Player of the Year and bolstering that statement with two spectacular closing possessions in a narrow 105-100 victory.
