Klay Thompson returns
After two years, the Golden State Warriors finally welcomed back Klay Thompson, and as one of the Splash Brothers, Thompson's contribution to the Warriors may be no less than That of Stephen Curry. Although there is no Curry's offensive ability to hold the ball, nor does it have Curry's passing ability, Klay Thompson's scoring explosiveness is better, and his defensive ability is the top presence in the league, which has made a great contribution to the Warriors' five-year triple crown. In the eyes of many fans, only the Warriors who played together with Curry and Thompson are the real Warriors.
In this game, the Golden State Warriors want to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it can be said that it is full of meaning to choose such a comeback. The warriors' most beautiful years were all against the cavaliers, and the riding battle became the memory of many fans. However, today's Cavaliers are no longer human, and only Kevin Love is still in the squad.
The Battle of The Horsemen continues

In this situation, Klay Thompson's first attack broke through the throw, which triggered cheers from the home fans. Unfortunately, the next 4 shots have not been hit, only 2 points in the first quarter, but Stephen Curry found his touch, 14 points and 2 rebounds on 4-of-5 shooting, leading the Warriors to 24 points in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers also scored 21 points by relying on the advantage of the inside line.
After returning from the second quarter, the Warriors' role players continued to scramble for rebounds in the front court with their mobility, helping the Warriors to open up the 7-point gap. When Klay Thompson returned to the court, he staged a breakthrough dunk, and he was still separated from the defender, and then he showed a fierce face, which once again made us feel how good his physical condition was. Clay then hit the first three-pointer of the game and really came back. Curry's feel dropped, with only 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 2-of-7 shooting, while The Cavaliers' Stevens had 11 points and 2 rebounds on 5-of-5 shooting.
