Draymond drops epic ‘night night’ on Knicks to seal Warriors’ win originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Draymond Green sent the New York Knicks back to the city that never sleeps with an epic “night night” celebration on Saturday night.

Green’s driving layup with 25.8 seconds remaining gave the Warriors a six-point lead in a game they eventually won 97.94 at Chase Center.

Green, after jawing with Karl-Anthony Towns all night, beat the Knicks’ big man to the basket and got the last laugh.

When Green got to the Warriors’ bench, he did the “night night” gesture with injured guard Brandin Podziemski.

Green finished with nine points on 3-of-9 shooting from the field to go along with four rebounds, three assists and one block.

While Steph Curry made the “night night” celebration a global sensation, the Warriors have another term for the action when Green does it.

“We say in the locker room, Draymond do the ‘nightmare,’ ” guard Moses Moody told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke after the Warriors’ win. “Nah, bit it’s cool. That’s something obviously started with Steph, but he passed it on, moved it around and the whole team is sending them home.”

Green and the Warriors have won seven consecutive games and improved to 39-28 with the win over the Knicks, who head back to New York after going 2-3 on a five-game West Coast road trip.

After Saturday’s loss, the Knicks might not sleep well on the cross-country flight.
