Draymond Green answered some critics with a strong performance in the Golden State Warriors final game before the All-Star break, but it wasn't enough as the hosts squandered a 16-point second-half lead to lose 126-113 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
Green's form, combined with rumors of his inclusion in trade talks before last week's deadline, had become a growing problem for the Warriors in recent games. However, the veteran forward proved he can still find his best in the big games, offering some optimism as Golden State look to surge in the final 27 games after the break.
