Dray showcased his strength and his aerial ability on this particular play, which let's be honest, doesn't really happen too often. Green had a clear path to the basket and he made sure to throw it down with authority. Not even a late challenge from a Pelicans defender could stop Draymond on his tracks. His Warriors teammates were clearly excited about Green's dunk and they made their feelings known about it. It was an awesome momentum-swinging play for the Warriors.

Golden State came into this one in need of a win. Prior to Monday's contest, the Dubs were half a game behind the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. The playoff race has been extremely tight out West, and Golden State cannot afford to stack up the losses right now. The Pelicans themselves are still hoping to book their spot in the postseason, so Monday's matchup certainly had key playoff implications for both sides.
