The Warriors’ defense was unbothered when Russel Westbrook had the ball in his hands. When Westbrook was approaching, Draymond Green left the former completely open. The Clippers’ star was thus forced to attempt a long-range shoot. However, quite contrary to what fans had expected, Westbrook was totally perplexed. He did not bother to shoot the ball. The Warriors planned to sag off the opposition and by sticking to the plan, they emerged triumphant.
Speaking of his ‘saggy encounter’ with Westbrook, Draymond Green said, ” Well necessarily gets in his head, but it will make you think for sure. Because you are open in every play… You’re taught in basketball, you’re open, take the shot. But if you are open every play, you kind of start questioning yourself and so I thought we did a good job executing.”
