In a critical Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors face elimination and remain uncertain about the return of injured superstar Steph Curry. Forward Draymond Green stressed the importance of playing a long game and finding ways to win regardless of Curry's status. Coach Steve Kerr avoided speculation but acknowledged the profound impact of Curry's absence on the team's offense. Players struggled, highlighting Curry's role in creating opportunities and breaking down defenses. With the series lacking victories since Curry's injury, the Warriors adapt to heightened pressure.
The series changed with Steph's injury, so everybody's shots are going to be more difficult. Steph is the guy who breaks the defense down for us and creates that offensive flow.
Play the long game, Green continued. So if he can (play), we know he will. But there's no pressure. We have to figure out how to win whether he plays or not.
