Klay Thompson hit a go-ahead 3-pointer as the Warriors overcame Draymond Green’s first-half ejection to edge the Grizzlies.MAY 1, 2022
Goes 3-of-10 from downtown in win Thompson provided 15 points (6-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact Thompson hit some big shots in the second half, but overall it wasn't a fantastic game for the sharpshooter, who took a backseat to Jordan Poole (31 points off the bench) and Stephen Curry (24 points). While Poole continues to establish himself as a major player in the Warriors' rotation, Thompson remains one of the league's elite complementary stars. He closed Golden State's Round 1 series against Denver with averages of 22.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 4.4 threes (45.8% 3Pt) across five games.

Produces well-rounded line in win Thompson amassed 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 102-98 win over Denver.
Impact Thompson tied Gary Payton for second on the team with 15 points in the contest, but it was his work in other areas that stood out. The sharpshooter's nine boards were two more than he had previously grabbed in any game this season, and he also doubled his season-best mark with four steals. This was Thompson's lowest scoring effort of the series, but the increased production across the box score largely makes up for the modest point total.

Goes for 26 points in Game 3 Thompson registered 26 points (10-18 FG, 6-13 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 victory over Denver.
Impact Thompson has taken some sort of "secondary" role on offense with Stephen Curry shining off the bench and Jordan Poole being a massive success in his postseason debut, but Thompson still provides excellent value in most formats due to his scoring ability and his efficiency. The star guard is averaging 22.0 points per game while shooting 45.2 percent from deep in the series, but he could use an uptick in other categories. He's only averaging 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game through his first three postseason appearances.
