Blazers wary of Draymond Green’s versatility entering Game 3

[...] Saturday night, during Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Blazers will be far more concerned with Green’s versatility.

With Stephen Curry sidelined with a sprained right knee, the Warriors’ All-Star forward has averaged 20 points, 13.5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3.5 blocks per game in the series.

In Game 1, he notched his third triple-double against the Blazers this season.

The Blazers dropped the series’ first two games by a combined 23 points.

[...] a closer review of the numbers shows that they’ve been outplayed in only two quarters.

The Blazers bested the Warriors 176-157 over the remaining six quarters.

[...] when a reporter told head coach Terry Stotts on Friday that the point guard had been ruled out for Saturday, Stotts was skeptical.
