After struggling a bit throughout the postseason, Klay Thompson had a huge performance in Game 2 as the Warriors beat the Lakers. The veteran produced a game-high 30 points in 31 minutes, allowing Golden State to even the series with Los Angeles.
Thompson was born in Los Angeles and grew up a Lakers fan, so this series is a bigger deal than usual for him. The veteran explained how important a moment it will be for him to play his first playoff game on the Lakers’ home court.
“It’s such an incredible experience to play in front of my friends and family,” he said. “I would go to Staples [Center] as a high school basketball player with my pops dreaming of playing on that floor, playing against the best in the world. … I’m excited to do it in a building where my hoop dreams came about”
