It wasn’t pretty, but the Warriors’ unprecedented start to the season continued with a 124-119 double-overtime road win over the Celtics. With Klay Thompson out, the greater burden fell on Stephen Curry, who scored 38 points despite shooting just 9-for-27 from the field. But the reason the Warriors won the game was Draymond Green, who was everywhere. He put up the first 5x5 game the NBA has seen since Nicolas Batum did it in 2012, scoring 24 points along with 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks. His line put him in some pretty good company:

The Warriors finish off their seven-game road trip tomorrow in Milwaukee, likely still without Thompson.
