Green triple-double fuels Warriors’ comeback winhome/Sports/Top Sports/Green triple-double fuels Warriors’ comeback winLOS ANGELES: Draymond Green exploded for a seventh career playoff triple-double on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) as the Golden State Warriors rallied for a 110-99 victory over the Trail Blazers in Portland and a 3-0 lead in the NBA Western Conference finals. The two-time defending champion Warriors trailed by 18 in the second quarter, but with Green driving them they produced another dominant third period to seize control of the contest and the series. The Trail Blazers will try to fend off elimination when they host game four on Monday. Klay Thompson added 19 points for the Warriors, who were again without injured star Kevin Durant. “All my teammates, my coaches have been telling me, ‘Draymond, get to the hole, be aggressive’,” Green said of his mindset.
