Draymond Green and Steve Kerr are fueled by competitiveness. It shined brightest when it mattered most, leading to the Warriors' Game 4 win in the NBA Finals.
The Warriors at the time were down 91-86 when coach Steve Kerr decided to replace Green and Nemanja Bjelica with Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins. Up to that instance, Green had scored two points, was 1-for-7 from the field and it was clear Golden State need an offensive spark.Through the ups and downs, wins and losses, Kerr always has trusted the heartbeat of the Warriors. That honor belongs to Green.
"We generally do that. Like most coaches, if you've got a group that's going well, you just stay with it. The last few minutes we just went to kind of an offense-defense pattern with Draymond and Jordan alternating." "I don't ever want our players to be happy if I take them out," Kerr said."Draymond is incredibly competitive. I didn't see any reaction. But he's the ultimate competitor. Came back in. Made huge plays down the stretch. He finishes a game with four steals, eight assists, nine boards.
