Green scored a team-high 37 points (13-23 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 3-6 FT) with nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers in Game 3 of their second-round playoff series.

The Warriors were without Stephen Curry (knee) for a fourth straight game and needed its supporting players to take up the scoring burden. Green and Klay Thompson (35 points) did just that, but Green, who finished at minus-2, was not pleased with his effort, calling himself out for shoddy defense. If Curry returns for Game 4 on Monday, Green can focus more on his defense.
