It was a magnificent win over Damian Lillard and co. However, there was a sight after the game which broke every Warriors’ fan.

Draymond Green talks about Klay Thompson, and how the team is there for him on tough days

Being together in the Bay for 10 years, the bond that Draymond Green and Klay Thompson share goes beyond the basketball court. They both were drafted by the Warriors, straight out of college. Both of them grew up, both as players and people in the Bay, and more importantly, together.

When Green was asked about whether more nights like these could be expected from Klay, he stood up for his brother. Draymond talked about how none of us really know all that Klay has been through, and all we can do is love him, and support him. Green said that they’re very close to the finish line/start line, and everyone is waiting with their arms wide open.
