Warriors' Defense Exposed as Draymond Green Sits Out Wolves Loss

Draymond Green was absent for the Golden State Warriors' 127-120 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, leaving the team's interior defense exposed. A former NBA Defensive Player of the Year and nine-time All-Defensive Team selection, Green's absence was keenly felt, with Stephen Curry noting, "Draymond and Al understand how to make the impact... but we didn’t have them. We had to figure out a way to get it done, but we just didn’t." The Warriors' defense struggled, particularly in the paint, without him.
