There was no need to read between the lines regarding Klay Thompson‘s feelings after Steve Kerr made a surprising late-game decision to bench him. While it was an infrequent sight, the Warriors guard could be seen attempting to hold back his frustration after hearing of the decision, but avoided drawing too much attention.
Even after the narrow 119–116 loss to the Suns wrapped, Thompson did his best to say the right things but admitted he was frustrated, and it’s more than understandable. He’s been a top scorer in the NBA for many years now, and after calling the decision “pretty strange” twice, he even admitted that he deserved to be on the bench.
