Before this match, no one dared to believe in a victory for the Golden State Warriors against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. They are losing physically, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins are seriously out of form, while Stephen Curry often has trouble with 2-on-1 situations this season.

Stephen Curry often gets into trouble with 2-on-1 situations coming from the Milwaukee Bucks’ defense

Even so, the home team still created a fairly stable match against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first half. The “War Deer Herd” did not show overwhelming strength in the trapezoid area. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors’ pitchers soon found their feeling, helping them have a 28-28 draw after the end of the first 12 minutes of play.

The turning point of the match officially happened in the second half. While Milwaukee Bucks remained loyal to focusing on defense on Stephen Curry, they immediately had to pay the price. Klay Thompson, after many matches in which his form was seriously lacking, suddenly shined with 3 consecutive 3-pointers.

Not stopping there, Jordan Poole also had an equally good performance, continuously making it difficult for the Milwaukee Bucks’ defense with effective passes. The explosion of Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole helped the Golden State Warriors take a 67-58 lead as the two teams entered the break.

15 minutes was not enough to help Milwaukee Bucks find a solution. They couldn’t mark Stephen Curry, but they also couldn’t stop an overmatched Klay Thompson today.

The gunner wearing shirt number 11 seemed to return to the most golden days of his career before being injured, continuously punishing the away team’s defense. Even the Milwaukee Bucks couldn’t get a rebound, especially when Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins worked extremely hard to win back the second ball for the home team.

The more they play, the more and more the gap widens for the Golden State Warriors. The small efforts of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks’ reserves in the final minutes could only help them avoid a defeat of over 20 points. The Golden State Warriors won convincingly 122-109, dispelling all the doubts they had previously received.

The biggest star of the match must belong to Klay Thompson. Ignoring criticism about his previous performance, the 32-year-old shooter ended the match with 38 points, a total performance of 15/24 and 8/14 successful 3-pointers. He alone accounted for nearly half of the team’s 3-pointers, bringing fans back to his most glorious images in the Golden State Warriors shirt before having to stop playing due to injury for 2 years.

Klay Thompson had a shining day as if he had never been injured

Not only Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole also had a good day with 30 points and 5/10 successful 3-pointers. Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points, Jonathan Kuminga contributed 14 points and the Golden State Warriors were completely superior in rebounds (43 compared to 31). Stephen Curry only brought in 8 points, but he did an excellent job of attracting people to create space for his teammates today.

On the other side of the front line, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points, but his plus/minus score was -26, the lowest on the field. Milwaukee Bucks had 4 more players scoring in the dozens, but it wasn’t enough to stop Klay Thompson’s sublime day.
