Klay Thompson made his highly anticipated return to the Bay Area — and it didn’t disappoint. 🏆 During #EmiratesNBACup opening night, Klay Thompson's return was filled with emotion, as the Warriors crowd offered a long standing ovation and Chase Center staff gave him a Captain's salute upon arrival, honoring his historic run with the Warriors. Klay Thompson was a cornerstone of the Warriors franchise for 13 seasons, helping lead the team to four championships. The four-time NBA All-Star also set the NBA record for most points in a single quarter (37) and most three-pointers in a game (14), all with Golden State. Despite a strong performance from Klay, who scored 22 points and hit 6 of 12 from beyond the arc, longtime teammate Stephen Curry closed the game with clutch shot-making and a game-high 37 points, leading the Warriors to a 120-117 victory over the Mavericks.
