AS THE FINAL seconds wind down in the first quarter of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Dallas Mavericks, Spencer Dinwiddie drives toward the right side of the paint. But Draymond Green is perched there, already anticipating what is to come -- a Dinwiddie pass to Dorian Finney-Smith in the left corner.
When the Mavs guard starts to make the pass, Green explodes across the paint, zeroing in on Finney-Smith and rejecting the Dallas forward's catch-and-shoot 3 back toward the Mavs bench with 5.3 seconds left.
Green lets out a scream as he walks by Dallas owner Mark Cuban and former Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki.
