In the summer of 2014, Andrew Wiggins was selected as the first pick in the NBA Draft by Minnesota and since then he has mostly known difficult moments in his career. For Tuesday), Wiggins continued his recovery campaign and was the standout in Golden State’s win over Boston in Game 5 of the Finals Series.
Wiggins finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds without losing a single ball and has been the main reason the Warriors have been in one game from a fourth championship in the last seven years.
"That's why he was selected No. 1 in the draft. He does a great job of figuring out what we need. He takes rebounds, attacks the ring and keeps the best players on the opposing team," said his coach Steve Kerr, "He fits us and we fit him. It's a great wedding. He is fantastic not only in this series, but throughout the playoffs. "

Drymond Green also complimented his friend and said after the game: "There's a reason he started at Allstar. The bigger the challenge we put on him, the bigger his reaction. You want players like that on the team. When the stage is big, they react and play their best football and that's what That he does. "
"He was an All-Star starter for a reason ... the bigger the challenge has been that we've thrown in front of him, the better he responded."

What caused some concern at Golden State was the performance of Steph Kerry who failed to score a three after 233 games in a row despite nine attempts and finished with just 16 points and 8 assists.
"0 out of 9 off the arc? He's going to remember it in Game No. 6. That's exactly what we needed. We found an attack even without him, he's going to be Steph Kerry again and he'll keep throwing," Green said of his old friend.
