Klay Thompson Says Warriors' Motivation to Win 3rd Straight Title Is for Oakland

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson wants to send Oracle Arena out a winner.

Nick Friedell of ESPN.com noted the Warriors will move to San Francisco's Chase Center after 47 years in Oakland's Oracle Arena following the 2018-19 campaign, and Thompson said playing in front of the fans in Oakland is a significant motivating factor as Golden State chases a three-peat:

"We want to do it for the fans of Oakland. Been so loyal to us for 40-plus years, whatever it's been since they've been in Oracle. So that definitely helps with this season.
