OAKLAND — Draymond Green has been the Warriors’ renaissance man for a while now, so none of this is a surprise. He is the guts of the defense, the soul of the offense, the heart of the team, and when the Warriors need a little kick in the behind – as they did entering Game 3 against the Houston Rockets — he provides that, too.
There really is no one quite like him.
“His ability to impact a game in so many ways,” Steve Kerr said after the Warriors cruised to a 126-85 victory Sunday night. “Defensively, getting out on (James) Harden and (Chris) Paul and switching, and rebounding, and staying on (Clint) Capela’s legs, and trying to knock the ball away on the lobs and protect the rim without fouling.
