Klay Thompson Puts Exclamation Point on Warriors’ Return to Finals

SAN FRANCISCO — With a little over three minutes to go in the Western Conference Finals, Klay Thompson had a pull-up jumper in the lane rejected by Spencer Dinwiddie. No worries—Thompson finagled the rebound and immediately found himself at the elbow, where he rose up for another two. No dice—he air balled it. Kevon Looney scooped up the rebound—one of his 18—as Thompson re-positioned himself to the right corner. The ball found its way back to Klay, and this time he sank a three, his eighth of the game. And the Mavs’ comeback that had the faintest glimmer of hope had finally been extinguished.
