Klay Thompson isn’t in a league of his own, but he is quite possibly the NBA’s best shooting guard outside of James Harden if you consider Harden a shooting guard. Thompson has been having a career year for the Golden Stae Warriors.
Reigning over the Western Conference, the Warriors, unlike in year’s past, have shown weakness. They’ve been just a .500 team since the All-Star break, including a horrific four-point home loss to the Phoenix Suns.
However, when it counted, they stepped up. Without Kevin Durant, it was Klay Thompson who proved yet again that he can take his game to the next level against the Rockets.
