Stephen Curry and Co. suffered their first loss in the last six games tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Golden State Warriors were off to a red-hot start this season, winning five straight games before heading into tonight’s game. But Donovan Mitchell’s incredible 31-point performance stopped the Cavaliers from becoming another victim of the mighty Warriors.

Even though the Warriors lost, there was a silver lining for them in tonight’s game. Their veteran Center, Draymond Green, had another great game. Golden State Warriors legend Chris Mullin reflected on the loss and revealed what the Warriors “really really need” from Draymond Green.

After witnessing Green’s incredible performance, Warriors’ legend Chris Mullin said, “This Draymond Green is what the Warriors really, really need.”

If Draymond plays like he played tonight consistently, he will force his opponents to change the scouting report. That will space the floor and create more scoring opportunities for his teammates. Green has scored in double digits in the last three games and will hope to continue his form. The Warriors put a lot of trust in Draymond, giving him a 4-year $100 million extension this summer. Now, he will be expected to hold his end of the bargain and help the Warriors challenge for a Championship this season.

Can Stephen Curry and Co. bounce back from tonight’s loss?

Apart from Draymond Green, Stephen Curry also had a decent game against the Cavs. He scored 28 points and helped the Warriors stay in the game till the end. Unfortunately, Chris Paul and Andrew Wiggins’ underwhelming performance held the Warriors back. CP scored only 5 points in the game. Despite the Warriors’ success, Chris Paul has been struggling in his new team. He has scored in single digits for the past three games and has not impacted the game the Warriors want him to.
