The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most powerful franchises in the NBA. With a strong core team of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, they went on to win four championships and dominate the league. However, this season the Dubs do not look dominating and are currently on a three-game losing streak. Due to that, the GSW coach, Steve Kerr, is making some drastic changes to his squad, which led to him benching the Dubs’ star player Klay Thompson for the first time during crunch time.

Stephen Curry, the cornerstone of the Warriors, was asked about Kerr’s drastic measures in a post-match interview. There, the 4x NBA Champion backed up his coach and spoke about the issues of his team.

Chef Curry reveals his team’s issues.

The Golden State Warriors faced off against the star-studded team of the Los Angeles Clippers. Even though they tried their best to make a comeback, the Clippers managed to defeat them 121-113. So, during the post-match interview, Curry was asked by a reporter about the changes made by Coach Kerr. He said, “Changes were necessary. You know when your team is struggling to find its identity and trying to find its momentum, you have to experiment. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. So, I think the energy was good tonight.”

The reporter even asked him about the ‘bounce-back performance’ of Klay Thompson. Curry said, “He is trying to figure out how he can be aggressive and assertive, that’s a big change. And for us to understand that without Draymond and the system that we run, how we create good shots? Those are the glaring issues we had tonight.”

Klay Thompson is currently experiencing an all-time low in his career. Due to that his team coach had to take drastic measures and sit him out during the crucial time of a matchup. But Thompson came back with a vengeance to prove to his coach as well as his critics that he is capable of changing the narrative of his team.

The Resurrection of Klay Thompson

Despite the Golden State Warriors’ 121-113 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, Klay Thompson appeared to be a silver point despite their defeat. The game was the first since Draymond Green’s extended ban, requiring Coach Steve Kerr to adjust his lineup, with youngster Brandin Podziemski replacing Andrew Wiggins. While the improvements did not result in a victory, Thompson’s outstanding performance stood out, as he led the team with 30 points.
