The Golden State Warriors are being their old self after a long time in this season. With their resilience and determination, they managed to get a commanding 129-107 win over the Utah Jazz and extended their win streak to five games. No doubt it was a collective effort by the Dubs, however, one standout performance amongst them was from the 33-year-old center, Draymond Green.

While his statistics of 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, demonstrate his flexibility, Green’s ability to control the game’s tempo and dominate the play on both sides of the court is what truly separated him. With his defensive brilliance, he restricted Utah’s offensive rhythm, and with his playmaking ability, he set up some smooth attacking plays for the Warriors.

So, with an outstanding effort that set the tone for his team’s win the dynamic veteran led this remarkable victory. And he even secured his second dub when he received some words of appreciation and love from his wife Hazel Renee on social media.

After the triumph over the Utah Jazz, Hazel Renee took to Instagram to show some love to her husband. She put up a video of the game and captioned it saying, “Someone who knows how to have a good time and show up to work the next day. Good game tonight baby.” She meant that when Draymond Green was spotted at the Superbowl event before the match-up, the fans criticized him as he was not performing well on the court and yet instead of working on his skills, he chose to attend the superbowl.

And the criticism did not end there, as he was spotted sitting beside the Akron Hammer LeBron James. The two of them have been spotted outside together which shows that they have a bond off the court. But the fans were not having that and started scrutinizing Green by saying “Draymond so giddy he loves being in the GOAT Bron’s presence,” and “Draymond’s always with his boyfriend.”
