After a long period of chasing, the Golden State Warriors surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers thanks to the closest victory centered on the brilliance of Klay Thompson and Chris Paul.

Klay Thompson sat on the press conference podium, once again facing questions about the feeling of having to come on the field from the bench. A smile appeared on the face of the pitcher born in 1990 because he had just had a good match, plus a victory with his teammates.

“ Reserve or not is probably not as important as the results of the whole team. Not to mention we have two stars coming off the bench, so it doesn’t matter. We are even proud of being a reserve , “Klay replied to the reporter.

Klay Thompson continued to play well off the bench, scoring the most points for the Warriors in the win over the Washington Wizards

In 27 minutes on the field against the Washington Wizards, Klay Thompson scored 25 points with 6 successful 3-pointers (9-16 FG, 6-11 3PT), along with 4 assists and 3 rebounds. 

The second substitute Klay mentioned in the above answer is Chris Paul. This was CP3’s first game back after 7 weeks of recovery and as soon as he returned, he immediately left his mark with 9 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals in 21 minutes of play.

The shining performances of Klay Thompson and Chris Paul helped the Golden State Warriors overcome another day of Stephen Curry’s low performance, winning 123-112 against the Washington Wizards.

Call today an unforgettable day for Stephen Curry because for the first time since November 2012, he was completely starved of points in the first half of the match. 

The Golden State star missed all 7 shots in the first and second halves, including 3 airball 3-pointers. It wasn’t until the third quarter that Curry got his first score before ending the game with 18 points (6-21 FG, 4-16 3PT) and 6 assists.

Chris Paul returned and immediately made a strong impression on the day Stephen Curry was completely “starved for points” in the first half of the match

The Wizards’ two best names in this match were Kyle Kuzma with 27 points, 12 rebounds and Tyus Jones with 14 points, 17 assists . Right behind were Corey Kispert and Marvin Bagley III each contributing 20 points.

Former Golden State Warriors Jordan Poole scored 12 points with 5 assists and 2 steals when coming off the bench. However, Poole had very low efficiency with only 5-17 FGs and 6 turnovers.
