Draymond Green's wife, Hazel Renee, was amped after the Golden State Warriors star's latest milestone. Green, who is not known much as a 3-point shooter, made his mark for the Warriors in this category. After Saturday's 109-105 win over the Phoenix Suns, Green passed Jason Richardson on the Warriors record 3-pointers list.
The former Defensive Player of the Year ranks third behind co-star Steph Curry and ex-teammate Klay Thompson. Green hit three 3s to record his 702nd career triple. His wife Hazel took to Instagram to express delight at the four-time NBA All-Star. Hazel also left a message for his haters, saying:
"Meanwhile...say whatever you wanna say but umm don't miss this fact."

Draymond Green's wife Hazel Renee drops 3-word reaction as Warriors sneak past Suns amid slump
The Warriors have been in a slump. They had won thrice in 16 games before Saturday's 109-105 win. However, they have momentarily halted their skid after beating Phoenix. Draymond Green's wife, Hazel Renee, knew the importance of the win and shared a three-word message on her Instagram, saying:
"Much needed winnnnnnnnnnnnn"
Hazel Renee was courtside for this game and posted a video of Jonathan Kuminga's game-sealing free throws.
Kuminga led from the front with a 34-point, nine-rebound game off the bench. He shot 12 of 20. Meanwhile, Steph Curry had 22 points and six assists. Draymond Green added 16 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals, shooting 6 of 9.
Green produced the most crucial play of the night, with the Warriors trailing 106-105. He forced Kevin Durant to miss a 12-foot jumper, displaying his elite defensive skills against his former teammate.
The Warriors improved to 16-15 on the season, avoiding falling under the .500 mark for the first time this season.
