Josh Lewenberg: Danny Green: “Reasons like tonight are why we’re so disappointed we let Game 1 slip away. With how they shot the ball we knew that was our chance to get them while they were rusty. They weren’t going to shoot that poorly 2 games in a row.”

Ryan Wolstat: I asked Danny Green this morning at shootaround how he’s feeling health-wise compared to previous deep runs. He said other than the fall last game, he’s really good. Put health above 70 or 80%, just a few bumps and bruises. Hopes more movement will lead to knocking down shots.
Josh Lewenberg: Lowry said they have to get Green more/easier shots, without forcing it. Kyle: “We have one of the best shooters in the NBA and we’ve gotta find ways to get him open.” Danny: “I talked to KLow about it. We’ll figure things out.”
Josh Lewenberg: Danny Green: “When you’ve got a team down like that you’ve got to be mature enough and professional enough to try to keep them there. Obviously it’s a great ball club over there, but this is one I thought we could have gotten… I felt like we let it slip away.”
Next-level Leonard has topped 30 points in six of his nine playoff games with the Raptors after only reaching that plateau in seven of his 87 playoff games in San Antonio. That’s largely the result of Leonard’s annual improvement and eventual breakthrough in the Spurs’ hierarchy but more has gone into that equation. “Probably the situation here,” Raptors guard Danny Green explained to The Athletic about the dramatic difference in overall productivity. “Also him, he’s grown as a player. He’s more mature. Another year smarter, working on his game. But I think the system, different situation has allowed him to do a little more, be himself. Take more control, more hands on, of the game.”
