It wasn’t a Game 6, but Klay Thompson brought his signature Game 6 Klay energy to close out the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals on Thursday night.
After missing two years due to a pair of serious injuries, Thompson capitalized on his long journey back to the court with a fiery performance in Game 5 to eliminate the Mavs and help the Warriors punch a ticket to the 2022 NBA Finals.
Thompson dropped a game-high 32 points on 12-of-25 shooting from the floor with three assists and two rebounds. The sharpshooter got especially hot from beyond the arc, drilling eight triples on 16 attempts from deep.
