76ers-Warriors Best/Worst: Green, Rodriguez and Sixers' collapse

OAKLAND, Calif. – This is my look at some of the best and worst performances from the Golden State Warriors' 106-104 victory over the 76ers Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.

Best performance:  This goes to Draymond Green on night when his Warriors teammate Steph Curry finished with a game-high 29 points. But Green had a solid all-round game while being the team's glue guy. The power forward finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, four steals and six blocks. Three of Green's blocks came in the fourth quarter. As the primary defender, he also held the Sixers to 0-for-5 shooting in the fourth.

Worst performance:  I had to give this to Sergio Rodriguez.  The Sixers reserve point guard shot 1-for-7 from the field to finish with three points.

Best defensive performance:  Green wins this award. In addition to his blocks and steals, five of his rebounds came on the defensive end. He also graded out at a game-best plus-15.

Best performance by a Sixer: Power forward Dario Saric gets this award after finishing with a team-high 25 points. He made 11 of 20 field goals, including two three-pointers.  Saric also had seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks. However, he committed a game-high six turners. Even with that, he was the best Sixer on the floor.

Worst statistic: This award goes to the Sixers' foul shooting. They missed nine free-throw attempts (18 of 27).

Best statistic: I'm giving this to the Sixers' first-quarter shooting. They made 14 of 25 shots (56 percent) in the first 12 minutes.

Worst of the worst: This goes to the Sixers' collapse after taking a commanding 16-point lead in the third quarter.  They couldn't do anything right and appeared to panic after the Warriors made a few shots.  Defensively, they were suddenly out of position and offensive they stopped making shots.
