Steph Curry was in a good mood on Dec. 10 since his team, the Golden State Warriors, defeated the Boston Celtics in a rematch of the 2021 NBA Finals. Canon Curry, his son, was also happy because he saw one of his friends. As he entered the Warriors locker room hand in hand with Steph, 34, Canon, 4, said, “Hello, Klay Thompson.” When Canon turned to face his dad’s teammate, he gave him a cute little greeting that made everyone around him laugh. “Hey, dude, how you doing?” The 32-year-old Klay replied.

Canon showcased his basketball prowess on his mother’s Instagram earlier this year. Ayesha Curry captioned a video of her three-year-old son simultaneously dribbling two basketballs, saying, “Canon Jack out here stuntin’ like his daddy.” Ryan and Riley Curry’s younger brother Canon has established himself as a regular at his father’s games and seems to have forged a friendship with Klay Thompson.

The night Canon welcomed him, Klay had another reason to be happy. In that game against the Celtics, he scored 34 points, which helped the Dubs secure a much-needed victory. According to ESPN, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, “We gutted it out.” “Clearly, Steph and Klay had things going on, so we were getting shots.” It was a chance for Klay to make amends because the team had just lost to the Utah Jazz 123-123 the previous evening. “We responded with a fantastic performance tonight, which is always nice,” he remarked.

Sadly, the positive vibe was short-lived on Tuesday as the Milwaukee Bucks handed the Dubs their 14th straight defeat of the year. The Warriors, who are 14-14 on the season, appear to have lost their edge when playing away from home. This season, they have a 2-12 record when playing away from home. After the 128-111 loss, coach Kerr reportedly said, “Our defense has been bad on the road,” according to ESPN. There are noticeable splits for whatever reason. Our defense performs poorly away from home.

The Warriors are now in 10th place in the NBA Western Conference, behind the Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings, and Dallas Mavericks as of Wednesday, December 14. The Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and surprisingly resilient Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Eastern Conference, while the New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies, and Denver Nuggets lead the Conference at the moment.
