Warriors hope Draymond’s presence offers spark after latest loss originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — After blowing a 21-point lead at home to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, the expectation was that the Warriors would arrive in Minnesota to start a brutal four-game road trip with a statement.
But there was no statement from the punchless Warriors on Tuesday night at Target Center. They lacked effort, energy, and spirit in a 129-114 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
There was no championship grit and little fight. Golden State offered minimal resistance on defense, was sloppy on offense, and now is hoping the mere presence of Draymond Green will spark them.
“Yes,” head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday night when asked if he wanted Green around the team more.
Green, who has been out since Jan. 9 with a back injury, will meet the team in Dallas on Wednesday before the Warriors face the Mavericks on Thursday.
