After the game—a 124-109 Warriors win—Jackson said Green knows his game so well that “he was actually calling out a couple of my moves before I did them.”

“He actually knows me pretty well. He was actually calling out a couple of my moves before I did them.
“He got really excited one time. I think Zaza knocked the ball off of my foot and it went out of bounds. It was real fun to be out there playing against him.” […]
“I think there were a couple of possessions where he felt I should have shot the ball and I took one too many dribbles. He was just telling me, ‘Next time, you should shoot that.’ Just a veteran helping a rookie.”
