Three Things to Know: How happy is Curry to have Draymond Green back?

Three Things is NBC’s five-days-a-week wrap-up of the night before in the NBA. Check out NBCSports.com every weekday morning to catch up on what you missed the night before plus the rumors, drama, and dunks going that make the NBA great.

Draymond Green walks through the door with a level of swagger the Warriors have been missing — an attitude they need if the Warriors are going to add another banner to the rafters.

“Whether we’re two seed or three seed, we’re going to win a championship, so it don’t really matter,” Green said after the game.

Nobody was happier to see Green back than Curry. For all the talk about Green’s defense — and he was leading the Defensive Player of the Year race when he got injured — his ball movement and offensive creation and just as critical to the Warriors. Green’s first play upon his return was a pass to Curry for a triple — and look at the smile on Curry’s face afterward.
