Warriors' Draymond Green: Posts double-double in Game 5 victory
Green posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and a steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 120-111 victory over the Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
Analysis:
The four-year veteran bounced back after two forgettable performances in the blowout defeats in Game 3 and 4. Green had shot only 12.5 percent (2-for-16) over that span, netting only six points apiece in the two contests. Thursday's performance did put him back into double digits scoring-wise for the third game in the series, and his four blocks were the most in that category since Game 4 of the semifinals versus the Blazers. Green's double-double was also the first of the series, after he accomplished the feat in three games versus Portland in the previous round. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals over the five contests versus the Thunder.
