ALL-MET ELITE

NORTHWESTERN HS.

HYATTSVILLE MD.

Former Georgetown star Jeff Green had his best game as a pro at Verizon Center, scoring a game-high 39 points by hitting an assortment of ridiculous shots, including a one-legged fadeaway three-pointer that tied the game late in regulation.

Green, who was playing on his alma mater’s home floor, made it on one foot, facing two defenders, while he was off-balance and fading out of bounds. It was one of his career-high eight 3-pointers on a career-high 16 attempts.

“My old locker is right down the hall,” he said. “I live 10 minutes from here. It’s a lot of comfort here. It’s like my second home.”

It was clear that Green felt right at home.

Green scored five straight points to begin overtime, giving him 39 points and nine rebounds for the night.

“It was great — in front of my family, friends. I couldn’t have scripted it better,” Green said.
