The Warriors have now won seven straight games and have pushed their record to 5-0 at Oracle Arena following a 116-99 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kevin Durant had 33 points in the game to lead all scorers, while Stephen Curry chipped in 28, having failed to make five 3-pointers for only the second time this season.

Here’s what we learned from the win:

Draymond Green’s defense is on another level

Draymond Green always fills a box score, but the crux of his impact on Friday night’s game wasn’t found in his impressive, near-triple-double stat line Friday night.

But you can see it in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ numbers.

You can see it in the 12 points the Timberwolves put up in the fourth quarter Friday. And you can see it in Karl Anthony Towns’ night as well. He had 13 points on 38 percent shooting.

Simply put: Green was everywhere against the Timberwolves — for a second straight game, he played defense with a playoff-like intensity and turned in the kind of impact that has helped the Warriors win three titles in four years.

Green entered this season gunning for the Defensive Player of the Year Award — he was peeved that he didn’t make the NBA’s All-Defensive first team last year (though I believe it was justified).

He’s out to prove a point.

He’s played 10 games, but he might be able to rest his case.

Even amid this insane era of offense, there are still some truly elite defensive players. But no one can do what Draymond Green can.

Kawhi Leonard can defend anyone on the wing, but he can’t lock down Towns the way Green did Friday.

And while Rudy Gobert is an elite rim protector, he’s not putting Andrew Wiggins in a clamp or forcing a point guard to make a premature pass because he simply can’t get around him on the perimeter.

No one would characterize Green’s body as elite, but make no mistake, in the modern NBA, he’s a prototype. He’s not too big, not too small, with long arms and active feet. A few years ago, coaches and scouts looked at Green and had no idea what he was — it turned he was the future.

And that’s not even factoring in his prodigious — perhaps unparalleled —basketball IQ.

Green does things I have never seen another defenders do — you don’t get to be both Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman…

And when it’s winning time, he’s as impactful a force as Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant — he just makes his impact on the defensive end, in less-than-obvious ways.

And on Friday, he treated everyone to a display of just how impactful he can be.

It’s truly next-level stuff.

Alfonzo McKinnie is not a fad

Since the preseason, I’ve been calling Warriors’ reserve forward Alfonzo McKinnie “the homeless man’s Andre Iguodala”

McKinnie plays with such a steady, professional composure, and can do so many little things competently, that it’s hard not to see some Iguodala in his game.

But the notion was that he’s not the poor man’s Andre, he’s just a bit lower than that — the 2015 NBA MVP makes 12 times more than McKinnie.

I might need to re-evaluate that admittedly terrible and probably unintentionally pejorative nickname.

Because not only was McKinnie fantastic on Friday night, he also went out and took Iguodala’s minutes in the fourth quarter of what was a pretty close game (at least for a stretch).

This guy isn’t going away. McKinnie is not some early-season feel-good story that will be forgotten in a few weeks. This is not a fad.

McKinnie is now arguably the most important player off the Warriors’ bench — a true 3-and-D wing option who is also a prolific rebounder.

It’s that 3-point shot that’s most fascinating. McKinnie’s professionalism on the defensive side was never in doubt — the Warriors coaches could trust him to turn in good, hustle-heavy shifts back in the preseason — but with all the minutes McKinnie is playing, he’s also getting plenty of open looks at the hoop — after all, he’s playing for the Warriors.

And not only is he knocking down those shots — he’s not hesitating for a second to rise and fire.

McKinnie has attempted 12 3-pointers over the last five games. Not only have all the shots looked solid, eight of them went in.

Through 10 games, McKinnie has a net rating of 20.8. That’s the fourth-best mark of any regular NBA rotation player. He’s already exceeded his expected value.

By the way, No. 1 on that net rating ranking? Memphis wing Omri Casspi.

What a time to be alive.

Klay Thompson is the ultimate glue guy?

The first 10 games of the Warriors season was expected to be a feeling out period — Warriors coach Steve Kerr was going to get weird and experiment with different lineups, particularly with the bench, in an effort to find the right combinations after what was a tumultuous (by the Warriors’ standards) offseason.

Perhaps this season started out that way, but heading into Game 11, it appears as if the rotations are more-or-less set.

When Shaun Livingston returns to the fold, the Warriors will have five bench players — he, Iguodala, Kevon Looney, Jonas Jerebko, and McKinnie — that could be considered reliable on a night-in, night-out basis.

There’s only one wild card — big man Jordan Bell — who Kerr seems keen to use in situations where the team needs a jolt of energy.

The roles are clear — the lineups are relatively set. We just got to November.

What an insane luxury.

But so much of those roles being set relies on the “second units” getting consistent scoring.

And more often than not, that onus falls on Klay Thompson.

Kerr wants Thompson to be the offensive anchor of the second unit, and in the fourth quarter Friday, that’s exactly what he was, scoring eight points in the first two minutes to start pulling away from the Wolves.

The first three quarters for the Warriors didn’t really click, but it all came together for the fourth Friday. Golden State can flip that script, with Thompson being the ultimate gap bridger, they won’t need to play many fourths this season.
