Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green was a finalist for this year's Defensive Player of the Year Award but ultimately lost out to Evan Mobley's sterling efforts. (At least Green was able to take home another "honor.")
Nonetheless, we saw exactly why Green had legit DPOY considerations at the end of Monday's Game 4 between Green's Warriors and the Houston Rockets. With the game on the line on Houston's last possession, Green basically played perfect defense on Rockets All-Star center Alperen Sengun. He forced the young big man into settling for a tough, contested floater from the top of the key that predictably never looked like it had a real chance of going through the net.
