L.A. Clippers big man Montrezl Harrell made a tough and-one layup over Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. Patrick Beverley, L.A.'s ever so brash point guard, made sure to let everyone know that Green is too small to stop Trez at the basket.

Green has had a reputation of being one of the best defenders in the NBA over these past few years. But this time, the Clippers big got the best of him on the low block. Green, meanwhile, had no choice but to just move on and shrug this one – including Beverley's mocking antics – away.
Green officially stands at 6-foot-6. But then, Harrell is just one inch taller, so this is pretty much a good match-up down low between two players who play much bigger than they really stand.
Harrell's hoop-and-harm came at a crucial point of the game with the Clippers in the midst of a massive fourth quarter rally. Golden State entered the final frame with a 10-point lead, but L.A. came storming back to take command of the game.
Harrell had a massive fourth quarter, where he scored nine of his 11 points. He also added 10 rebounds, three assists, and a block in 30 minutes. Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard led the way with 36 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three steals, while Lou Williams dropped 21 points and three triples off the bench.
There had been concern with the Clippers' lack of effort on defense over the past week, and this still appears to be the case last night. They came out sluggish on Friday, but fortunately, they were able to clamp down on defense just in time in the fourth quarter. This translated into a better offensive flow for them as they mounted a comeback to escape San Francisco with the win.
Nonetheless, a good moment for the Clippers.
