NEW ORLEANS – Draymond Green peered over a group of reporters and in the midst of a jubilant locker room his eyes met those of teammate Marreese Speights.
“I already shouted you out, playa,” Green told Speights, smiling. “I’m good at throwing lobs, you know what I’m saying? Don’t even worry about it, big dawg. I got you. My man!”
Indeed Green had praised Speights earlier for grabbing an offensive rebound that led to Stephen Curry’s game-tying 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds left in regulation in the Warriors’ improbable 123-119 first-round playoff win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
