Draymond Green stood near half-court with six seconds left and the Warriors trailing the Sacramento Kings by one point Wednesday night at Chase Center.
Green took one dribble, surveyed his options and found a cutting Klay Thompson with three seconds left. The veteran guard took two dribbles and drained a dagger jump shot over Kings guard Davion Mitchell to secure the Warriors’ 102-101 win.
Thompson and Green chest-bumped to celebrate the clutch shot after the Kings called a timeout with 0.2 seconds left. So, what did Green say?

Classic Klay.
Thompson struggled with his shot most of the night but found it when it mattered most, finishing with 14 points on 6-of-15 shooting and three blocks.
