Following Golden State’s Game 5 series-clinching win on Thursday night to send the Warriors back to the NBA Finals, Draymond Green was asked who he’d rather play coming out of the East.
“You’re asking me who I want to play, I’m going to tell you who I think we’re going to play. We’re going to play Boston. That’s who we’re going to play,” Green said.
The Celtics were up 3–2 in their Eastern Conference finals series against the underdog Heat. Jimmy Butler had other plans, as he scored a game-high 47 points, while adding nine rebounds and eight assists for the Heat.
