Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green was short, but clear for reason why they lost to Lakers in Game 3
LOS ANGELES — Draymond Green doesn’t usually hold back. Even after a loss, he’ll take a deep dive into what went wrong and often detail his own mistakes in the game’s low points.
Asked if he was satisfied with how the game was officiated, Green said: “It is what it is. The game’s over now. Don’t matter if I’m satisfied.”“It’s frustrating.”The Lakers’ two wins came with a massive disparity in free throw attempts taken between teams. The Lakers took 37 free throws to the Warriors’ 17 on Saturday and 29 to the Warriors’ 6 in Game 1. The Lakers took 17 free throws to the Warriors’ 16 in Golden State’s Game 2 win.
When the game stopped, the Warriors lost their flow. Under the playoff lights, they also lost their composure. Meltdowns were a common thread through the Warriors’ mediocre stretches in the regular season; Green would sometimes chide his team for lacking the mental toughness required to survive the target on their and conquer opposing teams’ comebacks.
