Draymond Green was a little surprised with the Toronto crowd last night, something which he wasn’t used to. Usually, the Power Forward would get jeering to booing from fans, but the Canadians, who are known for their hospitality, which was seen at the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors game last night.

Shocked and something he believed was the Stephen Curry effect, he had a few words of praise for the fans after the game. The reputation of Canadians being polite and gentle is a world-known fact, they are deemed as ‘nice’ people all around the world. And the likes of Draymond Green, who is definitely not used to such customs going to away games given his nature of approaching games, the 4× NBA champion himself was blown away by the kind gesture, which he believed was all Stephen Curry’s doing as a player and person he brings into the basketball world.

I get booed in most arenas I go to, but shoutout to the Canadians. They were very nice to me. and I appreciate it.
Draymond Green said

The game didn’t go in the home side’s favor as it was a tough contest for both sides who both got their own worries into the season, but the theme of the game circulated more around the fans and the support they gave to both sides who gave their all in an energetic game.

And it was Jonathan Kuminga and Stephen Curry’s night who shone in their victory on their trip to Canada as Kuminga contributed to 24 points and 6 rebounds, as he continued to place his name in the first 5 of the team sheet, which also saw Klay Thompson start after Steve Kerr had mentioned that the shooting guard would be the 6th man. As for Stephen Curry, he continued where he left off, scoring 25 with 6 rebounds and assists as they got their 120-105 win over the home side.

With that win, the Warriors and their fans hope that the playoffs are still hope and hope they can end this abysmal season on a high note.
