Golden State Warrriors forward Draymond Green recorded his 18th triple-double of the season on Friday night in Memphis, but this triple-double was unlike any he’d recorded before. Actually, it was unlike any triple-double recorded by anyone in the history of the NBA.
Green had 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals… and just four points. He even had more blocks (five) than points.
He became the first player in NBA history to record a triple-double with fewer than 10 points scored:

We think Draymond Green just had the best 4-point game of all time. pic.twitter.com/3xmr6j5fu9

Green also became just the second player in NBA history to have at least 10 assists, 10 rebounds, and 10 steals in a game:

And the 10 steals were a Warriors franchise record:

Pretty amazing, and a perfect example of Green’s tremendous versatility. And with Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson, Golden State doesn’t need Green to go crazy in the scoring department.
