After DiVincenzo buried a triple to give the Warriors the lead with 3:02 remaining, Thompson followed with a 3-pointer of his own to give the Warriors a commanding six-point advantage with two minutes left on the clock. Following clutch jumpers from Anthony Lamb, Thompson and DiVincenzo, the Warriors secured their second straight win, 109-104.
Thompson led the game with 32 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the field with six made triples, five boards and four assists in 33 minutes. DiVincenzo added 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the floor with eight rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes.
