Mavericks come to another brutal Klay Thompson realization Warriors know all too well

By the end of his tenure at the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson's often audacious shot-making wasn't quite matching the questionable shot selection that became a frustrating element for fans and ultimately led to a brief move back to the bench in the 2023-24 season.

The Dallas Mavericks may be coming to the same conclusion after a rough season opener for the veteran sharpshooter, with Victor Wembanyama completely taking over as the San Antonio Spurs stormed into American Airlines Center and emerged with a dominant 125-92 victory on Wednesday night.
