Green's Double-Overtime 5x5
On December 11, 2015, Draymond Green delivered one of the most
complete performances of his career during an exhausting
double-overtime battle between the Golden State Warriors and
Boston Celtics.
Green played 49 minutes and 38 seconds and finished with
24 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocked
shots. By recording at least five in each of the five major
statistical categories — points, rebounds, assists, steals
and blocks — Green completed a rare NBA 5x5.
He shot 8-of-20 from the field, made two three-pointers and
converted 6 of 9 free throws. He also committed only two
turnovers despite playing nearly 50 minutes and handling a
significant portion of Golden State's playmaking duties.
Green's performance came in one of the most dramatic games
of Golden State's historic 2015-16 regular season. Boston
pushed the defending champions through two overtime periods
before the Warriors escaped TD Garden with a 124-119 victory.

Two Overtimes in Boston
Golden State entered the night unbeaten, but Boston came as
close as any team had to ending the Warriors' historic start.
The Celtics stayed within striking distance throughout the
game and erased a fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime.
The teams were tied 103-103 after regulation. Neither side
could separate itself during the first overtime, with both
teams scoring seven points to send the game into a second
extra period tied 110-110.
Golden State finally gained control in the second overtime.
The Warriors scored 14 points in the final five-minute period
while holding Boston to nine, allowing them to escape with
the 124-119 victory.
Because the game lasted 58 minutes, each team's player minutes
totaled 290 rather than the 240 seen in a regulation game.
Green played 49:38, while Jae Crowder led Boston with 47:47.
Green Did Everything
Green's 5x5 was not the result of simply reaching the minimum
in every category. He comfortably exceeded the threshold in
points, rebounds and assists while recording exactly five
steals and five blocked shots.
His final line of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists left
him only two assists short of a triple-double. At the same
time, his 10 combined steals and blocks demonstrated the
defensive versatility that had already made him one of the
most important players on Golden State's championship roster.
Green also finished with a +14 plus-minus. Only Stephen Curry
finished with a better figure for Golden State at +15.
Curry Nearly Had a Triple-Double
Green was not the only Warrior to fill the box score. Stephen
Curry scored a game-high 38 points while adding 11 rebounds
and 8 assists, leaving him two assists short of a triple-double
as well.
Curry struggled from inside the arc but made 6 three-pointers
and was perfect on all 14 of his free-throw attempts. He
played 46:55 despite committing eight turnovers.
Andre Iguodala added 13 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists,
while Festus Ezeli contributed 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Golden State finished with an enormous 67 rebounds as a team.
Boston Pushes the Warriors to the Limit
Boston received its biggest scoring performance from Kelly
Olynyk, who came off the bench to score 28 points on
11-of-21 shooting. He also made three three-pointers and
recorded 3 steals.
Avery Bradley scored 19 points, Isaiah Thomas finished with
18 points and 10 assists, and Jae Crowder added 15 points.
Evan Turner contributed 13 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists
off the bench.
The Celtics actually made seven more field goals than Golden
State, but the Warriors created a huge advantage at the
free-throw line. Golden State made 31 free throws compared
with only nine for Boston.
A Historic Warriors Start
The victory carried significance beyond Green's individual
performance. Golden State entered Boston having won its first
23 games of the 2015-16 season and extended the streak to
24-0 with the double-overtime victory.
The Warriors were playing without Klay Thompson, who was
sidelined by a sprained right ankle, while Harrison Barnes
was also unavailable. Boston was missing Marcus Smart.
Despite those absences, the teams produced one of the most
memorable games of the early 2015-16 season.
Golden State's undefeated run would finally end the following
night in Milwaukee, but the victory in Boston ensured the
Warriors reached 24-0 before suffering their first loss.
They eventually finished the regular season 73-9.
What Is a 5x5?
A 5x5 occurs when a player records at least five in each of
five major statistical categories during the same game:
points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots.
Green's line easily qualified: 24 points, 11 rebounds,
8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks. The difficulty of
accumulating both steals and blocked shots while also
contributing as a scorer, rebounder and playmaker makes the
5x5 one of basketball's rarest all-around statistical
achievements.
