Draymond Green sets the tone in Warriors’ Game 1 win over Rockets

OAKLAND — Draymond Green has been the Warriors’ heartbeat since they embarked on this dynastic run. Sunday against the Rockets was no different.

Apathy amongst these Warriors, especially after they needed six games to oust the Clippers in the first round?

Nope, and especially not in Green, who stepped up as Steph Curry struggled in the Warriors’ 104-100 Game 1 win against the Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals. Green scored 14 points to go along with a game-high nine rebounds (including a team-high three offensive boards), game-high nine assists and a stout defensive effort with only one foul, a sufficient second fiddle to yet another Kevin Durant showcase in which Durant scored 17 more points than any other Warrior.
