The storyline of Kevin Durant returning to Seattle for the first time since his rookie season dominated all of the headlines leading up to the Golden State Warriors’ preseason tilt with the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
But it was Klay Thompson who treated the sellout Key Arena crowd to a show, as the Warriors demolished the Kings 122-94.
Thompson scored 19 of his 30 points in the game’s opening nine minutes, absolutely torching a hapless Kings’ defense, while Durant pored in a quietly efficient 26 points.
