WHEN THE Golden State Warriors celebrated inside the home locker room following Stephen Curry's latest heroics, Klay Thompson sat alone at his locker with a towel draped over his head.

It was Feb. 10, and Curry had just hit a last-second, game-winning 3-pointer to send the Chase Center crowd into a frenzy and secure a 113-112 win against the Phoenix Suns. It put the Warriors back at .500 for the first time since December.

Thompson's performance -- 2 of 10 shooting (1 of 7 from deep) in 24 minutes -- had been the latest in a string of poor performances for the five-time All-Star.
