On Tuesday night Klay Thompson fueled the Golden State Warriors to the 113-104 win over New Orleans to clinch a spot in the Western Conference finals. The former WSU guard had 23 in the game, including 14 in the first quarter to secure the team’s 15th straight home playoff win.
But, in the end, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and company will be the ones in the headlines and on First Take when you turn on ESPN today. And that’s the way Klay likes it.
Thompson has always been the quiet role player, even dating back to his time in Pullman.
