On Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks, with David Lee in town to receive his long-awaited championship ring, Klay Thompson made the mistake of assuming Curry was going to pull up in transition.

The Warriors scored 72 points in the first two quarters. We're just saying that it could have been more.
