Warriors take 1-0 lead in West semis

Klay Thompson probably isn’t going to like this much, but the All-Star is becoming a superstar.

The Warriors’ shooting guard would rather walk his dog than conduct interviews, and when he is coaxed into talking to the media, he likes to focus his chats on the guys passing him the ball and setting screens for his open shots.

But Thompson, taking the lead role in Stephen Curry’s absence, had no choice but to take the podium and talk about his stellar performance that led the Warriors to a 118-106 victory Sunday afternoon at Oracle Arena.
