The Golden State Warriors put together an impressive and gritty win over the Miami Heat on Monday night, winning 115-108 despite an off night from Steph Curry. It was a performance that showed off the team’s depth, and reminded everyone that they’re far more than just Curry — even if the chef is the MVP at this point in the season.
So let’s grade the players to see who stood out. As always, we’ll weight for our expectations of each player.
Draymond Green
36 minutes, 5 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers, 4 fouls, 2-for-5 shooting, 1-for-3 threes, +10
Green returned from the health and safety protocols and jumped right into action, playing more minutes than any other Warrior, setting the tone on defense, and providing a third of the team’s 39 assists, a sensational number.
