Klay Thompson hits huge three after Marcus Smart flops against him

Klay Thompson is one of the X factors for the Golden State Warriors. When the Warriors fell behind 2-1, to the Boston Celtics, Klay Thompson was the one people demanded to step up. As a result, Klay Thompson did just that. While Steph Curry definitely won Game 4 for the Warriors, Klay making clutch shots helped to shift that momentum.

Klay Thompson is the guy who has to show up, if the Warriors want to win the title. Stephen Curry is the undisputed leader of the Golden State Warriors. However, Steph by himself is only good enough to push the series to a Game 6. How this is evident is due to the 2019 NBA Finals, when Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson got injured. The Warriors went on to lose the series in six games.

Klay Thompson ended up being one of a few players to step up, in Game 5. Tonight, Steph Curry had an off game. While Andrew Wiggins ended up being the one to bring home the win, Klay Thompson did his part. To his credit, Marcus Smart was doing his part for the Boston Celtics. When Marcus Smart was guarding Klay Thompson, he flopped to get the foul. The refs didn’t buy it and Klay hit the clutch three.
