For the first time since his rookie season in 2012, Klay Thompson came off the bench for the Golden State Warriors. Despite not being involved in the starting lineup, the 10-year veteran shooter put together one of his best performances of the 2023-24 campaign.
After entering the game, Thompson caught fire, scoring a season-high 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting from the field with six rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes. Thompson heated up from beyond the arc, drilling seven 3s.
