After a bumpy start to the 2020-21 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors are getting back in form. They made several changes to their roster in the offseason, and it took some time for the players to settle in.
But with the All-Star break almost here, the Dubs are looking consistent. The credit for their newfound success goes to none other than their veteran duo of Steph Curry and Draymond Green. Recently, the two stars flaunted their skills against the Cavaliers in a comfortable 129-98 victory.
Curry continued his hot scoring streak with 36 points against the Cavs. On the other hand, Green handled the facilitating duties for the team as he finished the game with 16 assists. The two stars have shouldered the burden for the team in the absence of Klay Thompson.

Following this sensational victory, Juan Toscano-Anderson gave an interesting post-game interview. He said:
“I am a beneficiary of these guys, their hall of fame IQ. You know Draymond [Green] had 16 assists today, and that’s amazing from our starting center. Last five games, he’s in double digits assists. … Either Steph [Curry] is open or Imma be open.
“I’m aware that the defense ain’t gonna leave him, so I just find those gaps and get those easy buckets. I know Draymond sees everything. Sometimes he sees it a little too quick before any of us see it, but it’s great to play with a guy like that.”

Draymond Green has always been an amazing playmaker for the Dubs. Even during their stretch of dominance in the mid-2010s, he took on the role of a facilitator for their championship teams. This season, he is elevating his game further in that department.
