The San Antonio Spurs have proven themselves to be one of the most-balanced teams in the NBA. Several years ago, Tim Duncan found himself unable to produce at the same rate, so the franchise slowly moved him out of the centerpiece. Now, Kawhi Leonard is in that place.
Seeing how seamlessly the Spurs operate, anyone can become the breakout player in a game. Tonight, when Kawhi Leonard got hurt, the team turned to Danny Green. When the game was on the line, Green is the one who put the Rockets away.
Danny Green talked to the press after the game about how he put the team on his back, in the closing minutes. He also briefly touched on the life-saving block Manu Ginobili had on James Harden, that protected his game-winning layup and free throw. This has definitely put Danny Green on the map.
