In a significant NBA matchup, the Golden State Warriors secured a victory over the Miami Heat with a final score of 113-92. Klay Thompson, returning to the starting lineup, led the team with 28 points, shooting 11/20 from the field, including six three-pointers, and also contributed five rebounds. His performance was a key factor in the Warriors' win, as he was a +25 in his 31 minutes on the court. The Warriors' defense played a crucial role, especially in the second half, allowing them to pull away and secure the win. The Heat struggled offensively, starting the game 2 of 11 from the field and failing to convert any of their six three-point attempts in the third quarter. The Heat's offensive challenges were compounded by the absence of key players Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Kevin Love. This victory improved the Warriors' record to 37-34, placing them a game ahead of Houston in the standings.

Curry gets to the basket for a goal-tended deuce and hits a triple from the right wing, giving the Warriors a 94-82 lead with 7:51 to play. He's up to 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting.
Warriors take an 85-75 lead into the fourth quarter after digging in defensively in the third. They win it 32-20 by scrambling cohesively and pressuring the ball. Thompson up to 23 points. Andrew Wiggins with 15 points. Jonathan Kuminga with 14 and a nasty tip dunk.
The Heat is 0 of 6 on threes in the third quarter. Warriors ahead by 10.
Warriors down 55-53 in Miami at half. Heat press has caused some problems -- eight-second violation, pick 6 steal of Paul's dribble and just a general frantic energy from the GSW offense. Klay Thompson has 15 points and is a +11. He's been big.
Warriors take a 55-53 deficit into halftime. Thompson leading the way with 15 points. Heat sans several key players remaining effective by mixing defenses: zone looks, traditional man and some full court man pressure. Warriors sprinkle in some zone as well. Back and forth affair.
