SAN FRANCISCO – Klay Thompson didn’t like the fact that the Mavericks lost his first game back at Chase Center against the Golden State Warriors.
But he wasn’t going to let that dampen the joyous night he had in his return to the Bay Area, where fans clearly still think Thompson is one of their own.
If you were looking for a teardrop or thinking that Thompson would be overwhelmed by the emotions, you’d have been wrong. He didn’t spend a lot of time or energy wondering about how Tuesday night would go. He waited for it to happen and while the emotions were undeniable, he was under control and able to absorb it all and enjoy it in his own way.
