Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green hit a huge 3 pointer against the Chicago Bulls
SAN FRANCISCO — Just over two minutes remained in the fourth quarter when the Chicago Bulls trimmed the Warriors’ double-digit lead down to one. Golden State needed a bucket, and an unlikely hero emerged.
Green knew he’d be open; his relatively low 3-point percentage gives defenders little reason to defend him from beyond the arc. But a more aggressive start to the season offensively has Green feeling confident taking those shots. The 32-year-old made both of his 3-point attempts in his 13-point game on Friday and is shooting 32 percent from 3 this year on an average 1.3 attempts per game. It’s a far cry from the 38 percent on 3.2 attempts he took in 2016, but his 60 percent rate from the field points Green taking advantage of the space defenses provide to be a more decisive and confident scorer.
It’s a complete shift from the way he played most of last season. Green was benched during offensive possessions late in Game 4 of the NBA Finals because he couldn’t create offensive for himself. A back injury seemed to hamper his scoring throughout the season last year. At times he didn’t even look at the rim, and defense could apply pressure elsewhere knowing he was a guarantee to pass the ball
