The Warriors crushed the Heat 120-100, holding Giannis Antetokounmpo to 20 points. Draymond Green, who shouldered the bulk of the responsibility for guarding the Greek Freak, spoke about this difficult task.
“He got into the game and was taking shots from the perimeter. With a player like him, you have to live with him taking shots from the perimeter. In the first half, I let him take his shots; then I made him think a little more to disrupt his rhythm. No one in this league can stop Giannis one-on-one. If your teammates don’t cover the gaps or set a screen when he’s attacking the basket, you don’t stand a chance. One player alone can’t contain him; the whole team has to work together to do that, because he’s a great player,” emphasized the veteran forward.
