‘Sixth Man Klay’ was an immediate success Thursday night and Steve Kerr plans to stick with it

Klay Thompson killed it in his first game as a reserve since his rookie season. It’s no surprise that the Golden State Warriors plan to keep rolling with their new lineup.

Steve Kerr tells reporters in Utah he will stick with Klay Thompson off the bench for now: "Doesn't mean it's permanent...We'll give it a little look and see how it goes." Thompson had 35 points tonight. Kerr: "Gives us some firepower off the bench."

Thompson had started every game of his career since March 13, 2012, near the end of his rookie season.
