STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.

Though the Warriors will be without Curry for at least the next three games of the series, Draymond Green isn't pushing the panic button. On top of finishing out Tuesday's win over the Timberwolves, Green believes the team can rely on Jimmy Butler, who has carried his teams during the postseason before, to keep their championship dreams afloat.

“He was everywhere, he was guarding everyone,” Kerr said after calling Draymond the “greatest defensive player” he had ever seen. “He just has a way of helping every single teammate by being in the right spot and thwarting different advantages the opponent has.”
