Even though Klay Thompson returned at the start of the year, he has not been at his best. He showed glimpses of the old Klay, who could guard the opposition’s best player and then be a lights-out shooter from three. But has struggled in games and sometimes he is just unable to get his shot going.

However, in the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Klay Thompson was back at his best. The Warriors had revenge on their minds as they had got blown out the last time they met. Giannis had a monster triple-double in that game and the Warriors were down by 39 at one point. But this game was completely different, as the Warriors took care of business courtesy of Klay, who had 38 points.
