klay Thompson’s return to Golden State was a memorable one, with the veteran guard matching his season-high of 22 points and showing flashes of his former brilliance. As the crowd cheered for their beloved “Splash Brother,” Thompson brought energy and skill to the court, but in a showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, it was his former teammate Stephen Curry who ultimately stole the show.
The Warriors edged out the Mavericks in a nail-biting 120-117 win, thanks in large part to Curry’s 37-point masterclass. With just minutes left and the game hanging in the balance, Curry delivered a remarkable stretch, scoring 12 consecutive points and sealing the victory. The night marked back-to-back games of 35+ points for Curry, who continues to set the bar high as he leads the Warriors this season.
In addition to Curry and Thompson’s efforts, Jonathan Kuminga added depth to the Warriors’ offense with 16 points and 5 rebounds, further contributing to Golden State’s success. With this win, the Warriors not only improve their record to 9-2 but also take an early lead in West Group C for the NBA Cup.
Thompson’s performance shows that his journey back to peak form is well underway. As the season progresses, fans will be watching closely to see how the Splash Brothers continue to bring excitement and firepower to the court for the Warriors.
