Klay Thompson has not been close to his vintage self this season, and more concerning he has not even been the guy he was last playoffs. He’s pushed back on the criticism of him, saying that he deserves more time coming off missing two seasons with a torn ACL and then torn Achilles.
Sunday night, in the first quarter vintage Klay showed up.

Thompson had 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the first quarter.
That’s the 11th time in Thompson’s career he had a 20+ point quarter (of course, he owns the record for points in a quarter at 37).
Thompson kept making shots and was above 30 points in the fourth quarter as the Warriors were in a close one with the Rockets.
