KLAY THOMPSON: 26 POINTS 4/6 3’s VS KNICKS

Thompson embodies the mantra of “shooters shoot”, and that is why his shooting woes don’t linger. Against OKC, Thompson struggled to find his shot. In an uncharacteristic shooting night, Thompson scored 11 points on 5/16 from the field and 1/11 from 3.  Against the Knicks, Thompson looked for for his shot and he found it. He torched the Knicks’ defense on the perimeter as he paced the Warriors with his lights out scoring.

Given Thompson’s reputation to explode into scoring fits at any given time, it’s crazy to assume that a shooting slump would continue. This performance from Thompson is just another example of him activating his toaster mode.
