The Golden State Warriors have had a shaky season from the start. They gained momentum at the later stages of the year, but currently are still struggling to find their feet. Stephen Curry returned to the squad a week ago but couldn’t live up to his standards until Monday night. The four-time NBA Champion delivered a stellar performance alongside his confidant and fellow superstar who had a different motivation than others. A motivation which was a reason for fans’ excitement all around Twitter.
Draymond Green switched gears in the middle of the game because of a fan sledging the superstar. Green was ultimately happy with the encounter because it motivated him to perform better.

The Warriors are having a dodgy season, but they are surely enjoying themselves. Their win against the Washington Wizards was a testament to that.?
Green got a lot of trash-talk from a fan sitting courtside. The trash talk didn’t fulfill its intent as the Warriors no. 23 went on to produce a stellar performance only to excite fans.
Here are some of the reactions
Hire that man to follow the team around

In the post game interview, Green had nothing but good to say about the fan who irked him.?
“I appreciate it because I had nothing.” Said Green. He further added, “I had nothing going, I couldn?t find it, wasn?t about to find it, and then shout out to them ? there were two of them. He got me going, so I appreciate those guys.“
Although Green ended up with 17 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds, he wasn’t the star of the show. Stephen Curry stole the match away from the Washington side as he dropped 41 pts.?
