The Golden State Warriors came in as big underdogs this season. After falling just short of the playoffs last season, they came in with all force. With the great blend of youth and experience, they are one of the best teams in the NBA. However, they are still awaiting one of their best players, Klay Thompson. Recently, Stephen Curry and Klay showcased their shooting display in practice.

The Splash Brothers are one of the most dangerous backcourts in the NBA. In their time together, Curry and Klay were the two best shooters in the league. However, due to an ACL injury to Klay, the two haven’t shared the court in over two years. However, their return is now closer than ever as the Warriors expect Klay to be in game shape by January.

They looked lost on the defensive end and couldn’t get the ball moving. Moreover, Stephen Curry missed his pick and roll partner as he went cold, scoring 23 points on 6-16 shooting.

While the Warriors will miss him for a short time, they are more prepared for the big return. The original trio in Golden State is about to be back on the court as well. This trio was responsible for the Warriors breaking the single-season record for most wins when they went 73-9 for the season.
