Draymond Green shuts Nikola Jokic down and steals the ball from him
Draymond Green is often called the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. Rarely does Draymond Green lead the team in scoring. However, Draymond Green provides an energy to the Warriors that doesn’t show up on stats sheets. When Draymond Green was injured, the Warriors went from being the NBA’s best team to tying for the league’s third best record.
Draymond Green is back in the lineup and the Warriors are playing like they used to. Actually, Draymond Green being back marks the first time since 2019 that he, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson are healthy and playing together. The last time the Warriors had this luxury was the Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers, in 2019. An added plus is Jordan Poole’s stellar play.
Draymond Green is the Golden State Warriors’ defensive anchor. After Stephen Curry put the Nuggets to sleep, Draymond Green made their bed. Nikola Jokic is the reigning NBA MVP and the Denver Nuggets star. To Draymond Green, none of that mattered. As Nikola Jokic set his offense up, Draymond Green stole the ball from him. Draymond’s steal stopped Nikola Jokic from scoring on the Warriors.
