After registering a scoreless performance with zero shot attempts from the field and free-throw line against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, the Golden State Warriors needed Draymond Green to get involved on offense to snap their four-game losing slide.
On Monday against the Chicago Bulls, the veteran forward answered the call. Green tallied 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field to help the Warriors seal a 116-102 victory over the Bulls at Chase Center.
During his double-figure scoring effort, Green channeled his best Steph Curry and Klay Thompson impression, hitting three triples on five attempts from long distance. Monday’s performance against the Bulls was the first time Green has hit three or more 3-pointers this season.
In Curry fashion, one of Green’s triples came from way beyond the arc. With the shot clock ticking down, Green launched a deep attempt from near the logo that rifled through the net as the buzzer sounded.
With Thompson leading the way, Golden State’s bench exploded in celebration following Green’s deep jumper.
