With the season finals fast approaching, the competition is becoming increasingly difficult. The Golden State Warriors enjoyed a superb performance from Klay Thompson, who scored 54 points for a season-high.
The Warriors’ current performance indicates that if other teams don’t lift their game as the end of the season approaches, we will see a repeat of what happened back in 2022. This was his first game scoring more than 50 points after suffering two serious injuries.
In the game, he made 10 three-pointers, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out three assists. As a result, the Warriors won the game 143-141 after double overtime against the Atlanta Hawks. In addition, Jordan Poole, who made 28 points in the game, had a poor night on the hardwood.

While he played well from the field, he struggled from deep, shooting only 2-for-12 and 11-for-31. As well as that, he turned the ball over six times in the game. In spite of that, Thompson saved the game, especially given that Stephen Curry was out with an injury.
Since he subluxed his left shoulder on December 14, he has been out for a few weeks. Curry has been working on his injury and is in good health now. According to reports, he is expected to return by the middle of January.
