Double ray of sunshine in San Francisco since the Warriors have returned to victory, and above all Klay Thompson played well. For the first time of the season, the “Splash Brother” ends a meeting with 50% on penalties! Author of 20 points on 8 of 16 on shots, Thompson was the big winner of an altruistic attack, made of movement and ball circulation.
“I watched a lot of videos” explains the interested party. “With Draymond, we had a great discussion this morning. He just told me to be patient and believe in the team. I think I illustrated his remarks this evening. »
What’s interesting is that Thompson put the Warriors on the right track with a 3-of-4 shot to quickly open an eight-point lead (12-4). And it is also him, in the 4th quarter, who will take responsibility when the Knicks will attempt a comeback.
“It’s an extraordinary feeling, especially when the ball only touches the net” Thompson points out. “It’s the best feeling when you’re a shooter, breaking the net like that and it was incredible to experience such an effective evening. It’s really something that I can rely on. »
A happiness that delights Steve Kerr who has been supporting him for a month. “He was much more patient at the start of the game and it paid off for him” judge the Warriors coach. “It also benefited our team. It felt like every time Klay made an extra pass, the ball started to flow and you got a wide open shot….. And the play rewarded him. He put some important shots late in the game. I just think the quality of his shots was much better tonight. »
