Green notches a triple-double as Golden State overcomes 13-point halftime deficit to topple Portland, 110-99, to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green notched a triple-double to key a come-from-behind victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. By Ben Golliver Ben Golliver NBA reporter Email Bio Follow May 19 at 12:54 AM PORTLAND, Ore. -- Draymond Green, at his worst, is perhaps the NBA’s leading antagonist: a ref-berating, trash-talking, swaggering force who has been known to cross the line into the flagrant and profane.
Green finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists — a gaudy triple-double that still doesn’t quite capture his game-changing impact. The Warriors outscored the Blazers by 16 points with Green on the court, while Portland outscored Golden State by five points in the 10 minutes Green spent on the bench.Since losing Kevin Durant to a calf injury of Game 5 of a second-round series against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors have repeatedly played with fire by digging themselves early holes.
Green’s roaming defense continued to bother the Blazers, whose star guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined to shoot just 12 of 38 from the field. If Curry had electrified the Oracle Arena home crowd in a Game 2 comeback victory, Green’s flurry of activity largely silenced a raucous Moda Center that was hosting its first Western Conference finals game since 2000.
“I’m sure it was disgusting to watch [me arguing all the time] because I felt disgusted playing that way,” he admitted. “My mom has been really big, my fiance has been really big about talking to me about staying locked in on the game.”
