How a single shot by Warriors' Draymond Green guaranteed a Golden State championship

The Boston Celtics started Game 6 of the NBA Finals looking like they were going to steamroll the Golden State Warriors.

They jumped out to a 12-2 lead, including back-to-back 3-pointers by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. But the Dubs quickly found their footing, embarking on what was ultimately a 21-0 run that proved to be the difference in a 103-90 title-clinching victory.

There was plenty of basketball beyond the early goings of the game, but a seemingly inconsequential first quarter play by Golden State forward Draymond Green immediately signaled a Warriors championship.

Green isn't much of a sharpshooter, as hoops fans know well.
