Mavericks’ Klay Thompson reacts to the first win over the Golden State Warriors

On Sunday night, Klay Thompson played against his former team, the Golden State Warriors, for the second time since joining the Mavericks in the offseason, scoring 29 points in the 143-133 victory and avenging a 120-117 loss on Nov. 12. His 9-for-14 from the field, including 7-for-11 from three, put him second to only Luka Doncic in points scored for Dallas on the night as the Mavericks left the Bay Area with a win that featured the most combined regulation points in an NBA game this season.

Afterwards, Thompson was asked how it felt to get his first win over his old team and didn’t hold back his excitement: “It feels so good. It feels so good,” he stressed, before adding that this victory was not enough and that he wants Dallas to continue its winning ways. “We want to continue this,” he said. “Let’s get another winning streak going.”

The all-time leader in catch-and-shoot threes has now had four straight games with double-digit points, including three straight of 19 or more on 50% from the field or better. He also impacted this game in other ways, recording five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 29 minutes.

Thompson is playing his best basketball of the season right now as the surging Mavericks climb the Western Conference standings, sitting in fourth place at 17-9. If Dallas is going to compete for a top seed like they currently are, they will need Thompson to maintain his production and be a key member of this offensive attack. If he can do that, this team can really achieve its goals.
