There’s still plenty of basketball to be played in the NBA Finals showdown between the Warriors and Boston Celtics, but Draymond Green already has a favorite moment in the four games played so far.
“The most remarkable moment in these Finals, I think, was going on the road and winning Game 4 for us,” Green told reporters on Sunday. “Anytime you can go on the road and win in a hostile environment, it’s always a great feeling.”

And Boston fans didn’t hold back. After absolutely ripping Green and chanting expletives at the Warriors veteran in Game 3, the Warriors came back with a vengeance in Game 4.
Golden State ended up dropping the first game in Boston, but a historically brilliant 43-point double-double from Steph Curry in Game 4 helped the Warriors get what they wanted on the road to tie the series.
It’s another reason why Game 4 has stood out to Green the most so far in this Finals run.

“To see Steph Curry put on the performance that he put on, I think that’s one of those performances that, obviously you have to win the championship, but if you do win the Finals, that’s one of those performances that you look back in history like ‘Man, I remember this performance, I remember where I was when it happened,’” Green said. “And you remember the plays and how it went down. So I’d have to say Game 4.”
The momentum is with the Warriors and they hope to carry it into Game 5 on Monday as they regain homecourt advantage at Chase Center.
