Draymond Green: 'Golden State Warriors need to be desperate'

Draymond Green has said that the Golden State Warriors are not playing with the same level of desperation as the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

The Western Conference champions opened the series with a win, but have been beaten in the last two games to trail 2-1 ahead of game four later today.

The forward told ESPN: "They're playing like a team that's desperate and needs something. We're playing like a team that's not desperate and got something.

"This isn't the time to be quiet. Everybody should speak up. You be quiet now, you'll be home in a couple days."

Green has averaged 13.3 points per game in 18 appearances in the playoffs this season.
