NEW ORLEANS — Klay Thompson threw an emphatic fist bump after sinking his seventh 3-pointer Sunday night in the fourth quarter before he checked out of the game for the final time.
Thompson on Sunday put to rest any doubt of whether he would be able to return to his previous form after overcoming two serious injuries that sidelined him for more than two years as he continues to author one of the most remarkable redemption stories the league has ever witnessed.
Thompson scored 11 consecutive points for Golden State in the fourth quarter en route to the Warriors’ 128-107 win over the middling Pelicans, which officially locked them in as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
