When the Suns and Warriors met last month, Golden State’s Draymond Green was waiting to check into the game when he told Suns coach Earl Watson that he liked what he was seeing in rookie Marquese Chriss.
Chriss’ edginess on the court reminded Green of himself.
Green was not so benevolent when the two faced off on a wing Saturday. With Chriss squared up defending and his hands low, Green ripped the ball through hoping to draw a foul. A whistle blew but it was an off-ball call against P.J. Tucker on Stephen Curry.
Thinking it was on him, Chriss pulled his hands back behind him and turned his body.
