Takeaway: Thompson showed off his defensive skills against Clippers

Perhaps lost in the Dallas Mavericks’ 113-97 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night is the fact that Klay Thompson was able

to pick up a season-high four steals.

It’s the most steals for Thompson since he collected three of those on opening day against the San Antonio Spurs.

After Saturday’s game, coach Jason Kidd was asked about critics doubting Thompson’s defensive capabilities, and Kidd didn’t hold back.

“As much as we know we have a lot of critics that know how to play the game at a high level and are champions, they’re always going to have something to say,” Kidd said.
