SAN FRANCISCO — Klay Thompson scored 33 points in the first half and the Warriors managed to keep the Phoenix Suns at Bay Monday night in Golden State’s 123-112 win.
The Warriors finally snapped out of their trend of lethargic starts with their loudest opening quarter of the season. Golden State attacked first, pulling ahead by as many as 25 points in the first.
Thompson was a big reason for that. He opened the floor gates early, pouring in 18 points in his first eight minutes before adding another 15 in the second quarter. He hit a 3-pointer over his arch nemesis Devin Booker just before the break to send the Warriors into the locker room up 75-58.
