Klay Thompson has been performing exceptionally well for the Golden State Warriors, averaging 26.5 points per game since Draymond Green's suspension. He has maintained high shooting percentages, with recent games showing 68% field goal and 60% three-point shooting. The Warriors have won five consecutive games, with Thompson's significant contributions. The team's recent success is attributed to improved offensive dynamics, particularly with the consistent playing time for Trayce. Despite missing key players, the Warriors have demonstrated a strong defense and dominant performances, indicating their potential for a successful season.
Klay Thompson’s 11-for-16 FGs matches his most efficient night sjooting (also vs POR). In 6 games since benching, he is averaging a team-high 25.7 ppg on 52.9% shooting (33 for 66 from 3) Over that span, GSW’s ORTG is 8th. Before? 17th. Klay is still a massive difference maker
Klay Thompson is averaging 25 PTS while shooting 53% FG and 50% 3PT over the last 6 games. The Warriors are 5-1 throughout this stretch. https://t.co/RECk7bsXlZ
Thoughts on this game: -Finally, the Warriors have Trayce playing consistent minutes, and now they have a ton of margin for error, the offense flows better/easier, and are starting to blow teams out. Regardless of what team, it's about the process - when the process is bad, they…
*Klay’s 3P%, first 20 games of the season vs where he ended* 2013: 36.0 - 40.1 2017: 37.6 - 41.4 2019: 33.1 - 40.2 2023: 39.0 - 41.2 2024: 36.1 - TBD (46.5 in last 8 games)
Since Wiggs was sent to the bench, Klay's averaged 25.7 ppg on 53/50(!!)/100 shooting in 6 games. I think Klay's been dying for consistent touches, is getting it & now found comfort/rhythm. This Klay/Wiggins thing has become complicated - Wiggins can't stay a bench player.
Warriors handle business and sweep the Wizards, Blazers back-to-back. Klay Thompson scores 28, continues hot stretch. Warriors have won five straight. They are 15-14. Up next: at Denver on Christmas Day.
Steph Curry tonight: 27 PTS - 3 REB - 2 AST - 61% FG Klay Thompson tonight: 28 PTS - 3 REB - 68% FG - 60% 3P https://t.co/ArPWTZh3GD
Warriors rotational players do not have to play the final 3.5 min of Q4 because the game ended early with a connected defense for a majority of this game. THIS is the true Warriors I know, and this is what they've been capable of all along. It's a new season, Warriors fans!
Two consecutive blowout wins for the Warriors while missing Draymond, GPII, and Wiggins. Once these guys come back and Trayce is still in the equation, they will go on that dominant run I talked about before the season started. It's slowly coming to fruition.
The Trayce/Saric minutes have been dominant. Please don't go away from this - they are very dynamic together offensively, and Trayce holds it together defensively.
