Thompson dropped 32 points in 28 minutes.
Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson celebrates his 3-point basket against the Utah Jazz in the first quarter at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, April 7, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — In a season in which Klay Thompson has had to grapple with his basketball mortality, he proved once more that he’s still a god-level shooter.
In his first nine minutes, Thompson contributed 13 points and four assists, relishing his opportunity as the offense’s primary option. Even without Curry, the Warriors had a significant talent advantage over the beleaguered Jazz, who have lost Walker Kessler, John Collins, Lauri Markannen and Jordan Clarkson to injuries.
A minute later, Thompson canned his fifth 3 after he came off a pair of ball screens. From the bench, Curry raised his arm and pumped his fist in the air. Utah was far too content with letting him get loose on the perimeter. Golden State’s lead hovered around 20, and Thompson freed himself on a backdoor cut for a smooth reverse layup.Thompson kept gunning in the second half — until his services were no longer required in the fourth.
