The Miami Heat took care of business on Tuesday night as they took out Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks in Game 5 of their first-round series to progress to the next round. The Heat won Game 5, 97-94, with both Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry sidelined, and this has the rest of the NBA turning their attention to one of the dark horses for this year's title. This includes Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, whose interest has also been piqued by Miami's recent achievement.
In a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors talisman shared his thoughts on a potential Finals matchup between his Dubs and the Heat:
“I’d personally say I think there’s more differences and a ton more differences than there are similarities,” Green said (h/t Sam Leweck of Heat Nation). “I’d actually go a step further and say if those two teams were to meet in the NBA Finals, it’s like the tale of two tapes. We kind of don’t play the same basketball at all.”
That would indeed be a very intriguing Finals matchup. Green and the Warriors, however, need to take things one step at a time. This starts with Wednesday's close-out game against the Denver Nuggets. With the Dubs up 3-1 in the series, Green and Co. could take one step closer to the Finals with a series-clinching win in Game 5.
