However, this was not just another ordinary night in the NBA. This was the first game back in Golden State for franchise legend Klay Thompson. Despite losing the game, Thompson looked solid, scoring 22 points and hitting 6 3-pointers for the Mavericks.

Warriors star Stephen Curry destroyed the Mavericks on Tuesday night, and Klay Thompson's actions before the game may have influenced it.

Curry took over in the final minutes, leading the Warriors past Thompson’s Mavericks on a night of nostalgia for Golden State.
