Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry

On Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors played the Dallas Mavericks at the Chase Center, welcoming club legend Klay Thompson back. Thompson played for the Warriors for 13 seasons and won four NBA titles. He faced his old team and former Splash Brother, Stephen Curry, for the first time since joining the Mavericks this off-season.

Thompson was given a wholesome welcome by the DubNation as well as the Warriors’ some 400 staff members. However, this did not let Warriors star Curry from dropping a masterclass on his former teammate. In addition, he also reminded Thompson regarding his decision to leave the Bay Area in the offseason in the heated matchup.

After being guarded well througout the start of the game, Curry’s “Curry Flurry,” saw him score 12 points in a row toward the end of the game. This gave Golden State the lead and, eventually, the victory. Curry’s final 3-pointer was the game-winning basket.

Even though every point he made in the last three minutes of play was crucial. Interestingly, a leaked audio was released which showcased Curry’s wild words to Thompson. Stephen Curry said, “You better stay here, you better stay here!”

Curry clearly had more drive for this specific matchup based on his actions and style of play. The two-time MVP ended with 37 points on 14 of 27 field goals. Also, he had nine assists, six rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in his 35 minutes of play. He made his presence known towards the end in front of his home crowd after starting the game slowly.

In July, Klay Thompson signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavs. Due to knee and Achilles surgery, the 34-year-old missed more than two and a half seasons, including the 2019–20 and 2020–21 campaigns. Now, he is up and running with his new side this 2024-25 NBA season.
