With Kevin Durant out for at least Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus the Toronto Raptors with a calf injury, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green acknowledged that his own role with the team has changed.
In an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols on The Jump (h/t Nick Friedell), Green said:
"It completely changes. I have to be more of a scoring threat when Kevin's not out there. I have to—I really try to push the pace more when he's not out there. When Kevin's out there, we all have the luxury of just saying, 'OK, that set didn't work, we still got this guy to just throw a ball into it and get out of the way.
