Warriors have 18 turnovers through three quarters. Poole 4, Curry 4, Draymond 3, Looney 3, Klay 2. Crushing any momentum they try to build. Kings up 98-91 heading to fourth. – 10:53 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Two Klay Thompson 3s in 19 third quarter seconds. He’s been gunning for that type of mini burst. Mike Brown timeout. Klay skipped back to bench with Draymond Green in his ear. – 10:30 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Draymond had the choice between Curry and Klay in transition. Klay just hit one. He went back to him. – 10:29 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors down two at half in Sacramento
*Andrew Wiggins: 18 points, good energy
*Curry/Klay 2/9 from 3, early clock chucks from Klay
*13 GSW turnovers. Travels, double dribble, pick 6 passes.
*Longer Jonathan Kuminga run. Two stints, nine minutes, three fouls. – 10:08 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Klay chucked with 12 seconds left instead of holding for the final shot – 10:07 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay is taking some absolutely awful shots tonight. – 9:55 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors playing all their available veterans tomorrow in Sacramento on the front side of a back-to-back. They’re at home against the Spurs on Monday. Klay Thompson has sat the second side of each back-to-back. – 5:38 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
The NBA Last Two Minute Report shows one missed call during #Cavs and Warriors. It was Klay Thompson’s illegal screen. NBA says Thompson turned his shoulder into Isaac Okoro and it should have been an offensive foul on Thompson. Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff was right. Again. – 5:14 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Steve Kerr says he thought Klay Thompson’s defense on Donovan Mitchell down the stretch was fantastic. Kerr says Thompson is just still getting his legs under him, getting his shot back after he had a slow start to training camp. #dubnation1:05 AM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay Thompson tonight: 9 points (3/13)
Many of his misses were short.
“He’s getting his legs underneath him,” Kerr said. – 1:01 AM
Drew Shiller @DrewShiller
Klay struggled big time defending Mitchell tonight, but he just put the clamps on him right there when it mattered most – 12:25 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Yeah, that might have been a moving screen on Klay. Usually he slips out of that, but kinda accidentally laid the wood on the move as Okoro didn’t try to avoid him at all – 12:23 AM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Bickerstaff can’t believe there wasn’t an illegal screen called on Klay, but also please switch that next time Cleveland. – 12:23 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Klay has gotten beaten on Mitchell’s favored reject the screen move approximately 947 times tonight. – 12:15 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Mitchell roasts Klay again – 12:09 AM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Lamb
Draymond – 12:04 AM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors went 4.5 third quarter minutes without a point. Klay Thompson is 2/11 shooting and frustrated on the bench after an earlier than normal sub. Cavaliers’ length causing all sorts of issues. Poole just airballed a finger roll trying to loft it over Jarrett Allen. – 11:41 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Cavs guards Garland and Mitchell have been pretty solid on Steph and Klay tonight. They’re only switching 1/2 actions and they’ve stayed with them pretty well getting over screens. – 11:28 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors down 52-48 at half to Cavaliers
*Nine-man rotation — Poole, DiVincenzo, Kuminga, Lamb (good energy) off the bench
*Moody, Wiseman, JaMychal out of rotation
*Poole: 12 points on 6/9 FG. Best half in awhile.
*Klay 1/7 FG, still struggling
*GSW: 9 turnovers, 5/19 on 3s – 11:08 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Klay Thompson misses wide-open 3
Caris Levert makes wide-open 3 – 11:06 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Klay has gotten his ankles broken by Mitchell a couple times in this half – 11:06 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Curry, Klay, Poole, Draymond with Lamb – 10:47 PM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Warriors 25, Cavs 25 after the first quarter
Steph: 11 points, 4-for-6 from the field
Draymond: 5 assists, 4 rebounds
Klay: 3 points, 1-for-5 from the field – 10:37 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Kuminga set to check in. Perhaps for Draymond and play 5? More likely for Klay and play 4 with Draymond staying at 5 – 10:23 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay Thompson has attempted 5 of the Warriors’ first 11 shots. – 10:21 PM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Jordan Poole comes in at the 7:18 mark for Kevon Looney, not Klay Thompson
Warriors going small early – 10:20 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Draymond Green assists on back-to-back 3-pointers for Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry to get things started. – 10:12 PM

More on this storyline

Serge Ibaka then asked Giannis Antetokounmpo to pick his best starting fives from international players and the United States. International: Luka Doncic, Evan Fournier, Giannis, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid. USA: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo. “We beat them! Who’s gonna guard Embiid? Adebayo? Okay, that makes sense. Who’s gonna guard Jokic, and who’s gonna guard me?” Giannis talked about the outcome of the imaginary game. -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
Kylen Mills: Klay Thompson just posted this message on his Instagram story: “My belief is stronger than your doubt 🙃 I PROMISE you it’s coming. And when it does the flood gates will open ☔️” 😤😤😤 #dubnation pic.twitter.com/L4D3gMEbLk -via Twitter @KylenMills / November 14, 2022
