If I remember correctly, wasn't it against the Warriors that Green broke out against? Not offensively, but defensively.
Manu was injured, and Neal got limited minutes after coming back from his appendectomy. Ellis was torching SA on our home court, in stepped Green who proceeded to lock him down.

"His late defense on Monta Ellis was a key reason the Spurs were able to escape with a 101-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday at the AT&T Center.Ellis did torch the Spurs for a season-high 38 points, but he was limited to 4-for-11 shooting in the fourth quarter when Green clamped down on him. Ellis missed five of his last seven shots."
If it wasn't for Green SA loses this game and that streak against the GSW is gone, it was also a game I think helped solidify Green's role on the team. Green saved the Spurs' asses once again last night, cheers to Green :toast.
