How Did Draymond Green's Defense Help the Warriors Win Game 2?

The Golden State Warriors evened up the series against the Los Angeles Lakers with an impressive win in Game 2. One of the biggest adjustments the Warriors made was putting Draymond Green on Anthony Davis early on in the game. This change in defensive strategy proved to be fruitful as Davis only managed to register 11 points and 7 rebounds throughout the game. Head coach Steve Kerr praised Green's brilliant defense, which helped get the team off to a good start. In addition to his defense, Green also talked about how much he has learned from Kerr's playoff adjustments and the chess match that takes place during playoff series. The Warriors forward has been a sponge, soaking up every ounce of information and knowledge from the coaching staff. With Kevon Looney feeling unwell, JaMychal Green also stepped up with 15 points in just 12 minutes on the court. As the two sides prepare to face off in Game 3, the Warriors are poised to continue their excellent teamwork and strategy to secure another win.
