Danny Green watched the wild events at the end of regulation in Game 1 of the NBA Finals unfold like everyone else.
Unlike everyone else, Green, a guard for the San Antonio Spurs, has the perspective of a nine-year NBA veteran who has won a title. So he was a little more understanding after watching Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith cost his team a chance to beat the Golden State Warriors by forgetting the score was tied and dribbling out the clock after a late rebound. The Cavs went on the lose Game 1 in overtime.
¡°It¡¯s a million-miles-an-hour type of game unless you¡¯ve been there for some time,¡± Green told The Japan Times on Saturday in Tokyo¡¯s Akihabara area. ¡°The game obviously slows down as you get older, but even then, you better be on point at all times.
