Green scores rare triple double

Draymond Green had an uncommon triple-double while scoring only four points as the Golden State Warriors beat Memphis 122107 on Friday night for their first victory over the Grizzlies in three tries this season.

Green had 12 rebounds, 10 assists and a career-best 10 steals, part of a Warriors defense that forced 19 Memphis turnovers and 39 percent shooting.

Klay Thompson scored 36 points to lead Golden State. Kevin Durant added 24 and Andre Iguodala had 22, missing only one of seven shots. Stephen Curry finished with 18 points.

The Warriors lost two previous games to Memphis this season, including when they blew a 24-point lead in the second half on Jan. 6. This time, they held a 26-point advantage in the fourth quarter and didn’t let the Grizzlies (33-23) back in it.

In New York, Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 40 points to lead Denver past New York, 131-123.

On the day Charles Oakley was banned from Madison Square Garden, the current Knicks proved again they can’t play de- fense anywhere near the way his Knicks teams did, and lost their fourth straight.

Former Knicks forward Wilson Chandler added 19 points, Jameer Nelson had 16 points and 12 assists, and Denver shot 56.8 percent from the field.

Carmelo Anthony scored 33 points against his former team and Kristaps Porzingis added 17, but Jokic dominated the matchup of second-year big men from Europe.

The Serbian center was 17 of 23 from the field and added nine rebounds and five assists as the Nuggets reached 120 points for the eighth time in their last 16 games.

Oakley was arrested after an altercation with security guards Wednesday, and Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan announced Oakley had been banned from the arena during an ESPN Radio interview, though said he was open to reconciling with the forward. Fans chanted “We want Oakley!” and “Free Charles Oakley!” in the first quarter.

Also in New York, James Johnson scored a season-high 26 points as Miami rallied to win its 13th straight game, beating beleaguered Brooklyn, 108-99. /

To have such a pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the country. People can really grab that opportunity. KEVIN PLANK, Under Armour CEO I agree with that description, if you remove the ‘et.’ STEPHEN CURRY, Under Armour endorser
