The new playmaking partnership between Kodi Nikorima and Blake Green has got off to the best possible start - but not for the reason you think.



Since Nikorima's arrival, the Warriors have played both their matches away from home. That's meant two stints in hotels and a chance to get to know each other a little better.

"He's pretty quiet - he's a good roommate, Blake Green," Nikorima said.

"He doesn't snore either, so I like that about him," he added.

Green wasn't surprised to hear he got the tick of approval from his new halves partner.

"I'm pretty clean, so he hasn't got much to complain about."

But he conceded there were a few differences in how they like to spend their day.

"He [Nikorima] likes sleeping a lot. He doesn't get up until very late and then he turns the place into a bat cave for about three hours in the afternoon.
