Through the Warriors' first 21 games this season, Draymond Green shot just over 27 percent from 3-point territory.

Over the last four games, he is shooting 60 percent (12-for-20) from deep.

What's the reason for the improvement? Assistant coach Ron Adams apparently deserves the credit.

"One day it felt weird, which was kind of a microcosm of what I was doing wrong," Draymond explained to reporters after the Warriors' win in Minnesota on Sunday night. "He (Adams) told me, 'You're falling back on every one of your shots,' and all of 'em were coming up short. And it just felt awful.

"And so he told me and I tried to focus in on it. And I think the next day he came behind me and I was shooting and he literally stood there and put his hand in my back. I'm like 'Whoa, this feels weird.' But it felt so weird because I was falling back every shot.

"And so, that really helped me out a lot. Just staying into my shot, moving forward and it's helped my arc out a lot -- which is important when shooting the basketball.

"I can definitely feel the difference. It just feels more consistent. It feels a lot better. It doesn't feel like I'm pushing the ball anymore, where as before, it felt like I was pushing the ball."

Does being a threat from beyond the arc open things up for him?

"It definitely does. All of a sudden guys are flying out there at me and I was able to get in the paint a couple times and get a couple dropoffs. It definitely changes my game a bit."

The two-time runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year is averaging 11 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

If his hot 3-point shooting cools off, what then?

"Just continue to do what I was doing before," Draymond said. "Make plays for other people. Just do everything else, which I always try to do anyway."

According to NBA.com, Draymond hasn't attempted a single 3-pointer from the left corner and is 2-for-4 from the right corner.

He is 27-for-78 (34.6 percent) on "Above the Break" 3s.

"It's just kind of where I've been comfortable shooting the ball at," Draymond explained. "It's where I've kind of gotten most of my shots at. Usually when you get most of your shots in a certain spot, you tend to work on that area a little bit more.

"When you look at the NBA, a lot of fours (power forwards) try to specialize on the corner 3. I don't get many shots in the corner so I don't really focus much on the corner 3. I like to focus on the wings and the top of the key area.

"A lot of people think the corner 3 is easier. I think the straight-on-line one is a little easier."
