Klay Thompson could have spiraled in Game 4.
After scoring eight points within the game’s first four minutes, Thompson’s two quick personal fouls forced coach Steve Kerr to pull him out for Steph Curry early. The Warriors’ rotations were a bit off-kilter, Thompson’s rhythm interrupted.
This might have spelled trouble in a regular-season game, but Thompson isn’t playing like he was in the regular season. Back on the big stage, Thompson is playing like his old self.
