Warriors' Draymond Green: Scores 23 in Friday's win

Green scored 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT) with four rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one blocked shot over 34 minutes in Friday's 114-100 win over Sacramento.

Analysis:

Its a rare night when Green crosses the 20-point scoring threshold -- it's happened just four times this season -- but he's done it twice in the the last six games. This is obviously the influence of playing without Kevin Durant (knee). During the 12-game run without Durant, the Warriors have relied heavily on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but Thompson bricked his way to eight points (3-14 FG). That created the opportunity for Green who lofted a season-high in field-goal attempts.
