As the commentators talked to Klay, asking him about his performance, he turned the tables to give a shout-out to the announcers instead. Thompson went on to say, I didn’t know it’s your guys’ fifth year together … I’m proud of you two.”

He also went on to add, “The chemistry you two are building up is like us three, and I feel greatness ahead of you guys. I’m proud of Kelenna and Bob especially.”

As soon as Thompson said that, both Curry and Draymond Green could not stop their laughter while standing beside him. Even the announcers, Bob Fitzgerlad and Kelenna David Azubuike, were amused by Thompson turning the tables on them all of a sudden.

But Klay Thompson coming alive in the fourth, finishing the game with 22 points was what made the difference. Along with 17 points from Jonathan Kuminga off the bench.
