Klay Thompson delivered on Wednesday night in the Warriors' Game 5 win over the Rockets at Oracle Arena.
The five-time All-Star scored a team-best 27 points and went 11-for-20 from the field as the Dubs took a three-games-to-two series lead in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

On Thursday afternoon, his father, Mychal, was a guest on 95.7 The Game and was asked about the recent conflicting reports about Klay's feelings about Golden State.
"He's happy where he is," Mychal said. "If you're already living in the best house in the neighborhood, why would you move? I don't know why this narrative keeps coming up. I guess it's all speculative and it's part of the business -- wondering where all these free agents are gonna end up signing.
"I guess it just comes with the territory. But as far as he's concerned, he's quite content working for the company he's already working for."
Klay struggled in the Dubs' Game 4 loss in Houston on Monday night, scoring just 11 points and making 5 of 15 shots.

The following morning on ESPN's show First Take, Stephen A. Smith said the following:
"I'm not speaking about opinion here. I got this from a few people. I'm told Klay Thompson -- I have not spoken to Klay in fairness to Klay, let me be clear about that -- I'm told Klay isn't happy -- his number hasn't been called nearly enough.
"He's tired of sitting around and getting, this is a quote, the 'crumbs' left behind by other people."
Late Wednesday night, Klay was asked about Smith's comments.
“That’s not true,” he told Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group. “Have I ever indicated I was unhappy?”

And Mychal relayed one more message as well:
"Unless you guys here from Klay himself, just dismiss everything else," he advised.
