In a thrilling game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Draymond Green delivered a game-sealing moment that had fans buzzing. With just over 30 seconds left on the clock and the Golden State Warriors leading 112-106, Green found himself in an isolation play against his long-time rival, Rudy Gobert.
Green took advantage of a screen set by Stephen Curry, which allowed him to drive past Gobert and throw down an emphatic one-handed slam. This powerful dunk effectively ended any hopes of a Timberwolves comeback, securing a 114-106 victory for the Warriors.
What made the moment even more memorable was Green’s celebration. Channeling his inner Steph Curry, Green performed the iconic “night night” gesture as he ran back down the court.
The celebration was not just a nod to his teammate but also a statement to Gobert, with whom Green has had a long-standing rivalry. The two players have exchanged verbal jabs and on-court clashes over the years, adding an extra layer of intensity to their matchups.
Green’s performance was crucial for the Warriors, who had been struggling with six losses in their last seven games before this victory.
Fans and NBA Twitter went on to talk about Green replicating Curry’s move, while also making plenty of jokes.
But his eyes are open
