Stephen Curry Defends Draymond Green: Warriors 'Are Not in the Finals Without Him'

Stephen Curry credited Draymond Green for doing all the little things to help the Golden State Warriors take a 3-2 lead over the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Green has struggled with his shot in the series—28.1 percent from the field and 0-for-11 on threes—but he's averaging 7.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals through five games.

"In a situation like this series where things are not as smooth and you have some rough patches, he finds a way to respond with the right energy and approach and toughness that, if you're watching the game, you notice him at all times because he's kind of everywhere," Curry told reporters Monday.
