After scoring 20 points against the Knicks, Klay Thompson explained that there was no better sound in the world than the sound of the ball bursting the net. Last night, he offered himself a concerto of “swish” with 41 points, including a superb 10 out of 13 at 3-points! It’s simply his best game since his return from injury (s) and above all it allows the Warriors to win 127-120 in Houston. It’s the Warriors’ first away win this season.
“We are getting closer to a match of 50% wins. It’s not the best of results, but at least we took off a damn weight “ first reacted Thompson after this first success on the road.
Against the Knicks, he had therefore scored 20 points as a wake-up call. Last night, he was already at 20 points at the end of the first quarter!!! A few hours before the meeting, he had explained on social networks that the ” floodgates would soon be open“, and he didn’t lie.
“When you score 10 3-point shots, you can reasonably say that the floodgates are open” Thompson justifies himself. “It’s something I’m going to build on. I really wanted a match like this, and it’s just great to be able to play with a free spirit. »
17 of 27 3-pointers for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson!
At his side, Stephen Curry was in the same arrangements since he has 33 points, 15 assists and 7 rebounds. It had been a very long time since the “Splash Brothers” had been so effective together: 74 points combined with a 17 of 27 from 3-pointers!
“It was huge for us that Klay started the match like that because everything seemed perfectly in rhythm and easy in his way of putting shots” points out Curry. “It’s all connected, and that guided us through the game because he gained confidence and the ball was moving well to find the right player. »
From Thompson’s performance, we will remember his 6 of 6 on shots to start the match with an 11-0 for the Warriors at the start of the match. There is also his 3-pointer two seconds from the end of the 3rd quarter to restore the advantage to the Warriors, and his three award-winning shots in the last quarter to definitively repel the Rockets.
