Warriors observations: Klay Thompson erupts for 54 in wild double OT win

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Warriors' start to 2023 was much like 2022. This team can't keep things simple and easy.

They once led by as many as 21 points. A buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Donte DiVincenzo at the end of regulation tied it all up. Two overtimes later, Kevon Looney beat the buzzer this time, giving the Warriors an absolutely wild 143-141 win over the Atlanta Hawks in double overtime.

Klay Thompson had Chase Center going bonkers, scoring 54 points. That's his second-most ever in a single game, and his most since his two brutal leg injuries.
