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.

With Stephen Curry injured, the Golden State Warriors will need Draymond Green to step up even more as a leader.

Green has lifetime averages of 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks a game during the regular season. The Warriors have won four NBA championships during the Curry era, with the first coming during the 2014-15 campaign.
