JaMychal Green thing was cute and changed the rhythm for a game, but AD’s now guarding him like Looney anyway, so what’s the point anymore? – 10:21 PM

The Lakers have attempted 21 free throws through the first half — five of which came from a Flagrant 1 on Moses Moody, techs on Draymond Green and JaMychal Green and a three-second violation on Donte DiVincenzo.
LA took just 17 all of Game 2. Golden State has taken six tonight – 9:57 PM

Disaster second quarter for the Warriors. Tripping flagrant on Moody, technicals on Draymond and JaMychal Green, defensive 3-second call. Only scored 18 in the quarter. Just had a 30-8 run put on them in final eight minutes. Went from up 11 to down 11. Twelve turnovers at half. – 9:57 PM

Anthony Davis took a hard fall that left him on the ground for a few moments after Draymond & JaMychal Green contested his shot at the rim. Officials reviewing the play. – 8:48 PM

Steve Kerr said he won’t reveal GSW’s starters for Game 3 until it’s mandatory (30 minutes prior to tip). With Kevin Looney sick prior to Game 2, they started JaMychal Green next to Draymond, but their smaller lineup was effective, so we’ll see if Kerr sticks with it. – 7:06 PM

More on this storyline
So what was Kerr to do with his starting lineup? Enter sparingly-used forward JaMychal Green. For Kerr and the Warriors, he was the lineup’s next-best option to replace Looney. Was he ready to help? Absolutely, as he finished with 15 points in the Warriors’ 127-100 victory. “Been waiting on this moment,” JaMychal Green said afterwards. “Just wanted to show that I could help. I’m here to help the team, and so it was just me staying ready.” -via San Francisco Chronicle / May 5, 2023
Magic Johnson: Coach Steve Kerr made excellent adjustments on offense putting Jamychal Green in the line up to spread the court as well as adjusting their offensive plays. Defensively they kept the Lakers out of the paint. -via Twitter @MagicJohnson / May 5, 2023
Anthony Slater: The Warriors say Kevon Looney is not feeling well but will attempt to play. Sounds like it is at least part of the reason for the JaMychal Green for Looney starting lineup swap. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / May 4, 2023
