Draymond Green defends Jordan Poole's missed three-pointer in a playoff loss, noting Poole was 6-for-10 shooting. Green says the shot wasn't the problem; defensive breakdowns across the team mattered more than one final attempt.

I know everyone's talking about the last 3 that he missed. Quite frankly, I like the shot. You know, you obviously, you know, you tell him to eat up the space and take 3 a little bit closer as there was, you know, he could have eaten up the space, but Jordan can shoot the ball and he got a good look at it. Yes, you want him to take a couple steps in and get an even closer 3, but Jordan taking that 3 is not why we lost that game. And I know everyone's gonna point at that one play and say he should've never shot that 3. Prior to that 3, he was 6 for 10. You got a guy 6 for 10 that you know can shoot the piss out of the ball and you get an open 3, you live with it. There was some things that I personally could've done to make sure we weren't even in that situation.
