Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors took on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Klay Thompson returned to the lineup after missing two games. The Warriors were on a two-game winning streak while the Mavs were coming off a victory against the Grizzlies.

The Warriors routed Luka Doncic and the Mavs 130-92 in a lopsided fixture. Stephen Curry had 18 points while rookie Jonathan Kuminga led the way with 22 points. Luka led all scorers with 25 points as the Mavs lost Tim Hardaway Jr to injury in the second quarter. Klay Thompson has his best game since returning from injury as he found his rhythm and he was displaying his passing ability as well.

Klay talked to Jared Greenberg after the game, and was asked how was his knee. He said ” Feels great. Feel great when I shoot the ball and make a couple behind the back passes… “

He was complimented by Greenberg for doing a Steph Curry impression for his passes, but Klay corrected him by saying, “That Was More Magic Johnson Than Stephen Curry. I had eyes in the back of my head tonight. ”
