The Golden State Warriors have officially eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers from the playoffs, but after their win in Game 6, Draymond Green reached out to Montrezl Harrell before he went to the locker room to show respect.

Harrell finished Game 6 with 10 points and eight rebounds.

The four-year pro has been impressive for the Clippers this season, and he's one of the reasons why the team had a fighting chance against the two-time defending champions. Although Harrell naturally left a bit to be desired defensively against Golden State due to his lack of versatility, he was dominant offensively at times, especially as a ball-screen partner with Lou Williams.

In a way, he's basically the Clippers' version of Draymond Green, but on offense, doing all the little things to help the team succeed – setting screens, diving to the rim, putting pressure on the glass, and more.

Harrell is one of the frontrunners to win the Sixth Man of the Year honors, and he's also in the conversation for Most Improved Player of the Year award. Although he's accepted the role of coming off the bench, he's been playing like a starter, proving that he can be part of the team's long-term future. Last summer, Harrell signed a two-year, $12 million deal to return to Los Angeles.

Green is not the only Warriors player that's been impressed with Harrell, as Kevin Durant praised him earlier this week.

With their 129-110 in Game 6, the Warriors have won the series against the Clippers 4-2. They will now face the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals.
