Dray drops Steph’s ‘Night Night’ in epic game-winning dunk vs. Wolves originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Draymond Green is the latest ambassador for Steph Curry’s Night-Night celebration.

It also had a twist that only Green could have given it.

To tie the game late in the fourth quarter, Green threw an emphatic one-handed slam to end any hopes of a Minnesota Timberwolves comeback in the Warriors’ 114-106 win Sunday night at Chase Center.

The four-time NBA champion immediately thwarted Curry’s outstanding celebration while pursuing Wolves center Rudy Gobert on the court.

Yes, Gobert. The same one that Green called “BBQ Chicken” in May.

Finally, Green attended Team USA’s Olympic gold medal game in Paris in August to witness perhaps Curry’s most memorable “night-night” celebration of his career to date.

And while it didn’t happen right after a Dagger three-pointer, Curry endorses Green’s first-ever “Night-Night” celebration.

“Absolutely,” Curry admitted to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Chris Mullin after the game. “I’ve never seen him do it before. I know he was in Paris for the gold medal game.”

“I’m sure he’ll hit a dagger three at some point. But the dagger dunk – that’s new territory for the “Night-Night,” because you won’t see that with me.”

Although his biggest highlight of the night was his celebration, Green’s hitting power covered both sides of the ball.

In 31 minutes of play, the Golden State forward finished the game with six points to go, seven assists and six rebounds.

But by all rights, nothing will – or should – go beyond Green’s “Night-Night.”

If anything, hopefully it sticks around.
