This was an impressive win for a Golden State roster that exists in a constant state of flux. Klay Thompson looked as good as he has since his return, Stephen Curry hasn’t shaken the slump all the way off but looked to be turning a bit of a corner, and Kuminga came in off the bench late to help the team coast to victory.

Plan Z worked like a charm!

There were plenty of highlights in this one, as it just seemed like one of those games that the Warriors were extra fired up for. I wonder how much of that is directly related to Thompson’s triumphant return…

Also, Thompson looks different in his return (no duh). In addition to the highlight below, he also had a very nice up and under move off the dribble in the second half that looked like another guy almost. Klay has been working on some stuff!

"That was more Magic Johnson than Steph Curry." 🤣 @KlayThompson jokes with @JaredSGreenberg after the win against the Mavericks.
