The shot clock winded down on the Cavaliers as Draymond Green switched on to Matthew Dellavedova to the delight of all Warrior fans. The Cavalier tried driving it on Green, but almost predictably, he stripped the ball form Dellavedova.

Then, with LeBron James in his sight, Green sprinted to the other basket and took off for the layup. I guess he expected contact from James, because he overshot it and blew the clean look.

With fastbreak layups such a rarity this series, Green’s going to regret missing that, especially with all the heat he’s been taking.
