OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Everyone knows about Klay Thompson's ability to get dangerously hot in a hurry on offense.
His stingy defense might just be the thing that matters most when he returns for the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night with his team trailing Toronto 2-1.
"We can't fall into the trap of thinking offense alone is going to win us another championship or letting that end of the floor affect our defense," Stephen Curry said on the heels of a postseason career-best 47-point performance in the Warriors' Game 3 defeat.
