Draymond Green not ‘thrilled’ about fourth quarter benching in Game 4 win

“I’m not going to sit here and act like I was thrilled. I’m a competitor,” Draymond Green said.

BOSTON — Steve Kerr pulled out a few tricks to help the Warriors’ escape Boston with a much-needed win. Most flew under the radar, but one was controversial.

It wasn’t a full benching. An 11-3 Warriors run fueled by the sweet spot of Steph Curry’s 43-point gem put the Warriors up three points and let Kerr spin the revolving door. With just under four minutes left, Green subbed in for Kevon Looney. Then Jordan Poole and Green switched off defensive and offensive possessions four more times until the clock wound down to zero with Golden State’s 107-97, series-tying win in hand.

Green has often defined himself as a 16-game player — he’s built his legacy on closing playoff games with his defensive savvy, big stops and vision on offense. To see Green on the bench in the fourth quarter of a close Finals game was like seeing a fish out of water. But the move was logical given Green’s struggles of late.“Please stop asking me what’s wrong with Dray,” she tweeted.
