How an indefinite suspension revitalized Draymond Green's career

FOR THE THIRD time in as many matchups this season, Draymond Green found himself tangled up with Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey. Edey gave Green a nudge to the back to win an offensive rebound during a Jan. 4 game, and Green wanted to make sure the rookie wasn't rewarded with an easy putback.
