The Golden State Warriors defeated the Sacramento Kings with a 126-125 win in Game 4. But the game wasn’t without its drama in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Warriors barely managed to even the series and the game could’ve gone either way with a huge final-minute blunder. But as fans jumped on the train to slam Stephen Curry for his mistake, Warriors teammate Draymond Green came to the rescue.

The Warriors barely got the win, ending the game with a difference of a single point. Stephen Curry played a huge role in Golden State’s win with a 32-point performance. But given how the game ended with multiple mistakes, Green could not help but come to Curry’s aid.

Draymond Green takes the blame off Stephen Curry

The final minutes of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings were full of shifting momentum. Both teams hit big shots and also managed to get some stops on the defensive end of the floor.

But one play in the final minute of the game where Stephen Curry called a timeout with none left had fans slamming The Chef. To that, Draymond Green went on to his podcast to defend Curry and take the blame on himself.

After Stephen Curry and the Warriors’ Triumph in Nail-Biter, Draymond Green Embraces the Bench With Arms Wide Open

Green said, “Before everybody jumps and says Steph shouldn’t have done this, that’s on me. After you outlet the ball, someone has to trail the play. You have to trail the play because if all else fails and the guy gets trapped in that situation, he needs to be able to look back and just throw a simple outlet behind the place.”

“So, that’s on me, I’m always the trailer in those situations. And I diddley-doo on up the floor as if the game was over. Running with my back turned and we just can’t leave him in that situation,” added Green.

Green displays his team spirit

Draymond Green taking accountability for Stephen Curry’s mistake just goes to show his leadership and team spirit for the Warriors squad. He even took the blame for not informing his teammates that they have no timeouts left.

With about 42 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter, the Warriors had a rather comfortable five-point lead. However, the Kings’ defense managed to trap Curry in the backcourt with none of his teammates around to pass the ball to.

Curry was forced to call a timeout, without realizing that they did not have any left. Which ultimately led to a technical foul, a free throw, and De’Aaron Fox hitting a crucial three-pointer, shrinking their lead to a single point.
