Klay Thompson gets mad and walks off the court after dumb foul
Since 2014, the Golden State Warriors have been what the Los Angeles Lakers used to be in the league. A lot has been said about the Lakers struggles, since 2012. During that time span, the Lakers have only made the playoffs three times. One of those times they won the championship. Over the past eight years, with the exception of last year, only four teams have won the title. Despite the struggles, the Lakers were one of those teams.
Ironically, the year the Lakers won the title was the year the Warriors’ struggles left them with the NBA’s worst record. That season inspired Steph Curry’s MVP caliber play of the past two seasons. Last year, it was good enough to get the Warriors to the play-in. At times, this year, Curry’s play has made the Warriors look like the NBA’s best team. No question, the Warriors have struggled with Draymond Green being out. But, they still managed a nine game winning streak.
Klay Thompson returned during this run and he originally played well. But with the Warriors’ recent struggles, Klay Thompson has also struggled. Last night, the Warriors took on the Lakers, playing them in Los Angeles. In the third quarter, Klay Thompson made a bad defensive play. His play led to him fouling Austin Reaves, as he made a three pointer. Clearly, this upset Klay Thompson who not only left the game, but walked back to the locker room.
