The Golden Breakdown: The many ways of Klay Thompson’s offensive breakthrough

On the second game of a home-and-home against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Warriors were able to recover from the eccentricities and blunders of the first game to defeat the Blazers on their home court. Despite a monster game from Damian Lillard — who put up 40 points against the team he grew up cheering for — the Warriors were able to survive through sheer point production from Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. The trio combined for 82 points, with the bulk of the scoring coming from Thompson.
