Warriors’ Draymond Green Laments Failure To Take Advantage Of Lakers Playing ‘Gimmick’ Defense

All of the attention is on LeBron James’ injury, but the Los Angeles Lakers played their best defense of the 2018-19 NBA season against the Golden State Warriors.

With three of the best shooters of all-time in Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant, the Lakers doubled-teamed them and dared the Warriors supporting cast to shoot and carry the offensive load.

Andre Iguodala scored 23 points with most of it coming in the first half, but Draymond Green was clearly uncomfortable. As Green usually initiates the offense for the Warriors, he was forced to be more offensive-minded.
