Warriors could tweak rotation in an effort to solve turnover woes.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors will get Draymond Green back from league suspension for Game 4 on Sunday afternoon and beyond. Down 2-1 in a series against the Sacramento Kings that could go the distance, this team desperately needs his experience and voice back.
Playing Kevon Looney as the one big on the floor surrounded by shooters in Game 3 spread the floor and helped limit their turnover count to 11. With Green back in the fold, will Golden State have one of either Looney or Green start off the bench and stagger their minutes to help limit turnovers and optimize the offense?
“I think it’s a good theory, but I don’t think it’s actually played out that way,” Green said. “I think the way we play, move the ball, we took care of the ball and made great decisions and didn’t force anything.” With both Looney and Green on the floor this series, the Warriors have a 105.4 offensive rating — well below their 112.9 average rating — likely because they were turning the ball over in a dismal 23.2 percent of offensive possessions.The Warriors turned the ball over 15 times in Game 1 and 20 times in Game 2.
