This is Thompson's first game back in Golden State after he was traded to Dallas after last season.

Klay Thompson‘s return to Chase Center as a member of the Dallas Mavericks was a special moment in the NBA. However, the game took an unexpected turn when Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry orchestrated an epic comeback in the fourth quarter.

The duo of Curry and Klay Thompson, known as the “Splash Brothers,” formed one of the deadliest pairs in NBA history. Together, they won four championships and left an indelible mark on the league.

Stephen Curry scored the Warriors’ final 12 points, leading his team to a 120-117 victory. Thompson, now on the opposite side, had a front-row seat to witness his former teammate’s skill and determination.

As The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported, Thompson was candid about the experience. “It hurts to be on the other side of one of his flurries,” Thompson said of Curry. “The guy got hot at the end and made some ridiculous shots. I’ve been on the other end… and it sucks.”
