Eight at halftime and then Draymond Green happened Draymond I said Midway through the third if someone had never seen you play this is your Hall of Fame highlight film 11 points offensively everywhere defensively what was the adjustment you made at halftime I just thought I needed to be aggressive uh a

Couple of those ones I got turnovers in the first half uh Vic was kind of baiting me into the into the pass and then falling back so I knew coming out in the second half that if I drove at him I just had to be agressive try to

Get into his body to negate his shot blocking and then on the defensive end just doing what I do being active uh you know we were switching a lot with Vic because the problems that he creates so when I was switching on to the guards just trying to have high hands and make

Them make tough passes you know uh when they throw the ball to Vic they’re going and throw it up high cuz that’s where he can catch it and where no one else can so just wanted to have high hands and try to deflect the pass and we was able

To come over with a couple Steals and get out in transition and you just touched on the defense a little bit there but you you were cleaning up mistakes getting deflections breaking up plays all over the place I saw all of you guys embracing wenyama and you had

To guard him a ton what what was that challenge like in double teaming him or not double teaming him whenever down the stretch man he’s an incredible player uh and you know we never Incorporated the double team on him in in our game plan but we also always know that whenever

You got the best player on the opposite team if you’re going to incorporate a double just randomly do it because ultimately we know that guy can beat as you want to make someone else beat you but man that kid is great um he’s going to be forced to be reckoned with for a

Long time in this league he’s he kind of rewriting what it looks like to to be that size with handle and you know you’ll start to see more guys like that not necessarily as good as him but just tall and can handle the ball just with

What he’s doing and I said on my podcast a couple weeks ago after we played he’s a top 20 player in the NBA right now and that’s just being generous to the guys who’ve been doing it so long because I don’t want to be disrespectful you’re

One of the leaders of this team put this 4 inone Road trip in perspective the thoughts heading out to Minnesota and now the thoughts flying home ah I mean it’s a great road trip for us we you know we started off with that game in Minnesota where we kind of led the whole

Way and let the game slip away at the end uh but we picked it right back up from there uh we know went to Miami got a win went to Orlando and got a win in spite of me getting kicked out the game our guys held it down and four Run Road

Trip this point in the year any point in the year you take it and we need it right now so it’s grateful it points in the pain you guys have 42 tonight more in the second half but just in general you guys focusing more on scoring in the

Paint getting downhill getting the rolls what’s been behind that well uh you know we got guys who can get downhill obviously Steph can always get downhill but uh JK playing the way he had been playing before he went out and wigs playing the way he’s been playing just

Putting that pressure on the rim and you know when JK is not out here that takes a little bit of a hit because he’s a guy who can break the paint he doesn’t need anyone else to get to the paint and kind of break the defense down shut so that

Takes a hit a bit but that’s when we got to use each other and use cuts and you know misdirection and different things to make sure we’re getting downhill and putting that pressure on the ri all right I’m going to let you go with this one don’t just say a couple steals you

Had six steals tonight you blew up everything in that second half big time I’ll take it it was it was a good good game for me I started off the game awfully I had two turnovers in the first three possessions so I just wanted to bounce back and make sure we

Come out of here with a win hey we appreciate you stopping you’re the best thank you Draymond Green 21 points 11 assists six steals six rebounds and plus 13 the best of any player that played in the game tonight the Warriors win it 117 113 happy Easter to everybody 4- one as

The Warriors come home on a must have road trip and man did they do something special all right let’s pick it up right here in the third quarter really the Warriors slept walk through the first half we down eight at the half but Draymond Green and Company turned up the

Energy open the third quarter on a 28 to9 run it’s scored the first 16 points in this Frame and Draymond Green at 11 points three assists in that frame 4 four from the floor and this is really what separated the two teams here as he

Fell 37 to 21 they out score to San Antonio Spurs well the Warriors did a great job defensively here you have Draymond getting into the passing Lanes being very active they ran offensively we talked about the fast break points attacking the paint before the big man gets down there and when you’re moving

And sharing the ball like this when the Warriors are connected Bonte they are really hard to stop Plus Draymond was special he was just he was doing everything on the floor and he hit two threes this game so what does that mean vonte 134 29 all time when he makes

Multiple threes 10 to six this season so when draymond’s being aggressive the Warriors offense really makes the other team pay and you just it was just a beautiful third quarter the Warriors got to do a better job of taking care of the ball in the fourth quarter but the third

Quarter was that brand of basketball they we were looking forward to seeing the third quarter was deciding factor I mean the Warriors Draymond Green dominated the uh that third quarter but the Warriors as a whole they shoot 54% from the field 50 from three six for six

From the line they had zero free throws at halftime uh uh points off turnovers were 6-2 they dominated fast break points were 94 they were down 10-0 at halftime we said they had to flip those hustle stats uh so the third quarter did a great job of that Draymond I mean he

Was the stat stuffer tonight 2111 six assists six steals really really active game all right yes season High six steals for Draymond Green as we take a look at our top performance here leading away presented by UCSF Health you see Stephen Curry quietly 33 points a quiet

33 is is wild to say it’s one the best one of his better games shooting wise uh in a few weeks here for Stephie Curry 12 of 23 7 to 15 from the three-point line including eight assist we talked about Draymond Green but pods I thought his

Energy in the first quarter kept the Warriors in the game he finished with 12 points seven rebounds and four assists but of course this game Draymond Green had his fingerprints all over it especially in that third quarter again a season High six steals the 20- 10 game

First time he’s had a 20- 10 game since January 8th of 2018 and really his energy in that third quarter when the Warriors are down e as he fell the lack of energy in the first quarter from the starters you saw that they picked it up right there at the beginning of the

Second half and that’s what won them this basketball game yeah it’s really important for for Draymond when he’s guarded by such an incredible defensive player like Victor wama it’s important for Draymond to be activated offensively what does that mean he has to be at the top of the key with the ball because

Then Victor when B comes out to guard him then he can make plays to guys to get layups at The Rim or offensively when Victor is a RoR meaning he’s going out over the block shots of other people Draymond Green covers that space go get an offensive rebound you get the easy

Layups at The Rim because they dump it off to you being active like that makes the defense pay on the other end and Draymond Green did just that tonight and then being a weak size shooter when Draymond when Steph Curry drives down the paint everyone pays attention to him

You kick it to Draymond he hits those open shots you keep the defense honest you could see San Antonio’s philosophy obviously they want wi bam in the pain as much as possible so he’s a shop Locker rim protector I thought Draymond did a really good job obviously being

Eight of nine but not just shooting the wide open three taking up the space I thought he was really aggressive driving into the body of win Bama and and you know attempting to draw fouls and when he didn’t foul him he finished at The Rim Yeah he did that early in the third

Quarter to flip his basketball game and the Warriors again 4-1 on this road trip could have stole the Houston Rockets who were getting blown out by the Dallas Mavericks but it was all about getting Steph Curry we showed you guys the numbers earlier today post All-Star break shooting 34.5% from the

Three-point line just 40% from the floor numbers down to 22 points per game four and a half rebounds four and a half assists now I sounds silly here because those are All-Star numbers we’re just not accustomed to that because Steph Curry used the averages around 28 29

Will ‘s backup there today in San Antonio scoring a team High 33 points seven made threes mlly 12 of 23 looked like he was in a good Rhythm best he shot the ball in weeks yeah we talked postgame uh fesa Sante about when when the other players are really aggressive

It puts a lot more pressure on San Antonio’s defense to not overload on Steph so the fact that Draymond Green was so aggressive um Klay Thompson got it going late P jimsky Off the Bench more plays for the San Antonio Spurs to account for and I just thought overall

The the defense in third quarter uh Unleashed there’s some fast break points and much easier high quality shots for Steph I love the fact that Steph is still going to attack the paint no matter who’s in the middle right there you have a 74 big man and and Steph is

Still going to try and see what he can get away with this game tonight was incredible by Steph played a great floor game obviously he’s going to score but it is predicted like Chris Molly just said it has predicted his some of his numbers lately on how aggressive the

Other guys are because you give him a floor to play with if you have if you if if the other guys are struggling or not moving the ball and not being aggressive and not trying to score then the defense can double up they can send three guys

To Steph they can throw everything at Steph but when draymond’s being aggressive now Victor wiama can’t help over as much anymore and then he can also get those split Cuts those split actions I thought it was a great game by Steph I thought he was a great

Facilitator and got the other guys going as well and look Draymond was phenomenal and especially in that third quarter and it wasn’t just his scoring or his assisting or his steals I thought the pace of play picked up if you look all of a sudden the Warriors have 92 field

Goal attempts sounds like a small thing but if you go from 8 4 to 92 not only the more obviously more shots but the pace of play is more to the style over and then Steph Curry gets 23 field field goal attempts and 15 three-point attempts yeah that is the key Draymond

Had that pace moveie Curry had that pace moveie he was dropping di Let the Right the Warriors finish with 34 assists but you heard Draymond Green in the puz game interview talk about Victor win bayama and look I don’t know if he’s a top 20 player right now but I know he’s may

Turn out to be a top 10 player we’ve ever seen this kid is special he’s just scratching a surface here folks 32 points 10 to 22 from the floor I always ask fezy fail what do you do against a guy like this he’s 74 he can hit the

Floater he can hit the three he can grab rebounds he blocks shots he intimidates you he changes your shots this kid is going to be special fezy Bonte you know what’s crazy about Victor wama is every time I watch him play he’s better than the time before at 74 with the handles

That he has the ability to bring the ball off the court the ability to shoot threes he has a dog in him like you see right here a little payback for TJ for the last game dunking on him and so these are all the things all the intangibles that you think about when

You think of a great player that next step for him especially when you surround him with great talent I love to see a big man that comes out there and plays hard he runs the floor like he really wants he wants to get better you can hear it in his postgame interviews

Saying we our goal right now as a young team is to continue to get better and we’re we’re really measuring oursel based on who we were yesterday and to continue to get better like that under the the uh the coaching of Greg papovich that’s going to be a special guy for in

This league for a long time yeah historic generational Talent no question about that his skill set is unmatched offensively defensively the same uh and to me you know you looked at those numbers and that’s with the entire Warrior defense focused on him and fezy just said it the thing moving forward is

Going to be who do they surround him with and to me he’s going to be that rare player like a Steph Curry uh 50 40 90 60 wow wow 50 40 90 60 wow you know what I’m talking about what’s the 60 60 wins that’s what that’s what type of

Play you get the right plays around him you get the right plays around him that’s that’s what’s going to happen he was missing three guys today Kellin Johnson Devon vasel and Jeremy shohan and still made this a game you know one thing I love is last summer I remember

Guys talking about Victor Wy before he came into the league saying all this ball handling he’s doing overseas he’s not going to be able to do it against the more athletic players in the NBA and you’ve seen him getting better gotten better since he got into the NBA today

He was just playing with the ball he was at the top of the key he was coming off ball screens I love the development of this young man and it’s going to be scary hours in the NBA years to come what I notice obviously his progression his Improvement as a season we around

Wears on but to to Festus his point his discretion he can shoot as many shots as he wants he doesn’t do that he’s a he’s got great awareness and great shot selection he can dominate the ball he doesn’t do that and Greg papovich moves him all over the floor so you can’t key

On him you know a lot of young players you know you say he’s pretty good at everything this guy’s great at everything but still distributes his skill set for the betterman of the team a lot of people talk about the city of San Antonio as being a bad city or a

Place you don’t want to live I’m eager to see how many players sign up to play with Victor wi bayama because he’s going to make the game easier for a lot of people there in San Antonio for many years to come all right fellow rookie BR p foree fore for spee fore spee Foree spee speech spee For e fore spee when foree foreign Speeech me spe foree fore spee Spee E He Oh [Laughter] He
