The Golden State Warriors improved to 13-2 as they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers. While it looked to be a close game till the final minutes, one last run took the Bay home. However, it seemed like Draymond Green and Darius Garland had a moment.
The Warriors have been nothing short of exceptional this season. Despite being shorthanded, they have found their balance as a team. Surprisingly, they are the best defensive team in the NBA at the moment. For their offense, Stephen Curry is playing at an MVP level along with valuable contributions coming from Poole and Andrew Wiggins.
But what caught attention was when Draymond Green and Garland got tangled up in the fourth quarter.

Draymond Green and Garland refuse to let go
With the score at 90-86 in favor of the Warriors, both teams were desperate to have the ball. Hence, while chasing a rebound, both Green and Garland went up for the ball and saw themselves go out of bounds. However, they both got tangled up. This is where both started complaining to the referee, showing what the other person was doing and refusing to get free. The announcer compared Green’s action to Dennis Rodman as the two went their separate ways.
However, that seemed to be the push point for the Warriors as they closed out the game soon after. They went off on a 14-3 run from that point on and won their 13th game of the season. Curry led the way once again for the Warriors, while young Darius Garland continued to keep up his good run.
