Steve Kerr had nothing but praise for Draymond Green following his performance in the Golden State Warriors' win over the Sacramento Kings in Game 5.

Draymond Green had 21 points off the bench for the Golden State Warriors and went 8-for-10 from the field, including 1-for-2 from beyond the arc in a rare explosive performance.

Steve Kerr on Draymond Green's impact 

In his postgame interview, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr discussed the impact Green had on the 123-116 victory.

"Draymond was amazing, especially down the stretch," Kerr said. 

"They were calling him Draymond Nowitzki after the fadeaway, maybe the biggest shot of the game, along with the Wiggins shot. Those two shots were the two that stood out."

With a home crowd backing them, the Warriors will have all the momentum needed to secure a series win in Game 6 on Friday at Chase Center. 

The defending champions had the third-best record at home in the regular season at 33-8. They are also 2-0 in the postseason, winning both games against the Kings.
