Klay Thompson reacts to Damion Lee’s game-winning 3-pointer vs. Bulls

After Damion Lee drilled a heroic game-winning triple to give the Warriors their first win of the season, Klay Thompson chimed in on Twitter.

On Sunday, the Golden State Warriors recorded their first win of the 2020-21 season in dramatic fashion. After starting the season with back-to-back blowout losses, a last-second shot from Damion Lee against the Chicago Bulls etched Golden State’s first mark in the win column for the 2020-21 campaign.

After erasing a seven-point fourth-quarter Chicago lead, Kevon Looney followed an Andrew Wiggins miss for a tip in to notch the game at 121. Although Zach LaVine answered with a runner to give Chicago a two-point advantage with five seconds remaining, it wasn’t enough to closeout Lee and the Warriors.

Following a broken inbound play, Lee drilled a deep 3-pointer from the top of the key to give Golden State their first win on the season, 129-128.

As the Warriors swarmed Lee on the court, one of his teammates was watching from home. After Lee’s heroic jumper, Klay Thompson chimed in on social media. The five-time All-Star shooting guard called Lee a “beast” on Twitter:

Via @KlayThompson on Twitter:

Lee finished the game with 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field with two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes off the bench.

Before they close out their four-game road trip to open the season, the Warriors will have the opportunity to build off Lee’s game-winner with a stop in Detroit on Tuesday.
