Draymond Green is all smiles after the Golden State Warriors took down the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday for the 11th win of the season. Aside from his stellar play for the Dubs though, Green has another reason to be ecstatic about.
Apparently, the Warriors also set a new franchise record on triples made in a quarter against the Cavs, banking 10 of 14 attempts from deep in the third quarter of the game.
What's more amazing is the fact that they achieved such feat without their top long-range shooters in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Both stars are still rehabbing from their injuries, with Steph nursing his broken left hand and Klay dealing with his torn ACL.
Green was undoubtedly amazed by the Warriors' achievement and even took a funny jab at the so-called Splash Bros.

The Warriors blew out the Cavs, 131-112, behind a balanced effort from the team. Seven players scored in double figures for the team, led by Glenn Robinson III who had 22 points.
For his part, Draymond Green finished with eight points, seven rebounds and 16 assists to pace the Dubs to victory.
While the 2019-20 campaign is already a lost season for the Warriors, it isn't without positives. Giving experience to the young players like Eric Paschall, Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney bodes well for the team as they prepare for a better outing in the 2020-21 season when Steph and Klay are back and healthy.
