3/12 Star of the Game vs Warriors

Earlier in the night, I thought I would have went with Granger. Totally unexpected, but oh so necessary. However, anything other than BG would be robbery imo. Played the entire 2nd half where he put up 14 & 10. He dominated on the boards and was just aggressive. He had at least 3 putbacks off of his own misses where his hustle just paid off. He kept his composure and got into their heads a little more than vice versa.

Agreed. This game was all about the excellence of the 3 G's in Granger, Green, and Griffin but the night belonged to BG.

In an emotional state, I went w/ Willie Green. Willie was aggressive on both ends of the floor and showed the Clips & the Nation that he is the true definition of a Team Player.

all good...it's not in the stat sheet but ppl who watched know how tough he played and the # of semi-clutch jumpers he hit when it seemed GSW was pushing their lead up a bit.

I had to go with Danny Granger without the hot start we probably lose.

Lawrence Murray, ClipperBlog (3/13/14)

Breakdown Of A Breakdown
Willie Green came into the game versus the Warriors shooting only 33 percent from three, a five-year low. Green was on his game tonight, scoring a game-high 13 points in another Clippers win. And if there’s one spot Green feels great about, it’s the right corner, where he has made 13-of-27 threes (48 percent).

One of those threes came off a broken play in the third quarter that required an unlikely playmaker in Matt Barnes. A Chris Paul-Blake Griffin pick and roll didn’t work, resulting in Barnes receiving a pass above the left break. Instead of forcing the ball to Griffin at the top of the key, Barnes drove. He had no shot, but with his left hand, he found Green in his spot in the right corner for a three with the clock running down.

If the Clippers can recognize Green’s sweet spot, he’ll give the offense even more options. And after another heavy scoring night against a top defense, it’s getting harder to fathom how many more options there are.

Last Call: Los Angeles Clippers 111, Golden State Warriors 98

Especially with that one sequence in the first half! I think it was a) fastbreak layup over bogut, b) great defense closeout, c) made a 3, d) forced a turnover, e) warriors timeout.
