In the midst of a tight affair between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors, forward Draymond Green made yet another case for his Defensive Player of the Year campaign, turning a sure-shot two-on-one fast break opportunity into a highlight reel rejection at the rim.
Klay Thompson made an errant pass to no one in the backcourt, as Damian Lillard retrieved the ball and hit Noah Vonleh with a dime near the paint. Vonleh elevated for the dunk but was met at the top by Green, who ferociously turned it away.

Green's ability to switch from guarding a perimeter threat to a paint scorer in the blink of an eye shows just how much of an impact he's had defensively for the Warriors this season.
At a mere 6-foot-7, the undersized power forward is fearless challenging the opposition, just as he took on the 6-foot-9 Vonleh in mid-air.
