Scores 31 points on 28 shots Thompson racked up 31 points (12-28 FG, 7-19 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 loss to the Trail Blazers. Impact With Stephen Curry (lower leg) missing his second straight game, Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for 69 points Wednesday, but that effort wasn't enough to get past the Blazers in what turned out to be a tight loss. Though he's now cleared 30 points in the first two games of Curry's absence, Thompson struggled with his efficiency Wednesday and could be in store for a few more rough shooting outings now that he'll likely be drawing more attention from defenses with his usual backcourt mate out indefinitely. That being said, the fact that Thompson has put up 50 field-goal attempts over the past two games alone suggests that his usage could go through the roof while Curry is sidelined.
