Al Horford praises Draymond Green’s leadership after Warriors’ dominant win

Strong team performance and Horford’s hot shooting

The Warriors controlled the game from the opening tip, never letting the Pacers mount a comeback and cruising to a 114-83 home victory. The team looked organized on both ends and maintained the lead throughout.

Al Horford played a valuable role off the bench, finishing with 12 points in 18 minutes — all coming from beyond the arc as he went 4-for-6 from three. He credited his teammates for finding him in the right spots and making accurate passes that put him in position to knock down shots.

Leadership from Draymond and a clear message

Horford also highlighted the impact of Draymond Green’s leadership. After a tough loss to Denver, Draymond challenged the group to bring more intensity, and Horford felt the team responded. He described Draymond as sharp and direct, someone who gives clear perspective and holds teammates accountable while explaining what he expects.

For Horford, being around that voice every day has been a learning experience — he’s been able to see firsthand what people have long praised from afar and absorb how Draymond operates on and off the court.
