After a defensive breakdown in the second quarter of Saturday's 129-118 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson walked over to Draymond Green to discuss how Milwaukee's Damian Lillard drove with ease to the hoop for a wide-open layup.

Later in the fourth quarter as Golden State's defense faded, Green ran from his spot on the bench to point Atkinson toward another defensive error. The Warriors' start to 2024 has been full of them.

"He was talking to [his teammates] about how to guard certain guys, which direction to send them," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after the game about Green's involvement from the bench.
