The Warriors probably still want more from Moody, as he remains fairly passive. Well, actually he was just a negative factor. He was a non-factor. A 3-for-3 night must have felt great. With his fellow Green ejected, JaMychal took over in the fourth quarter, raining in three after three while providing tremendous amounts of energy on the glass and defense.

His energy has been a lifesaver for the team lately. He had 27 points at halftime — as many as all of his teammates combined. Looney wasn’t bad, but had a difficult time impacting the game. Green’s defense in the first quarter was absolutely phenomenal.
