Klay content to be both superstar and sidekick

The only thing more remarkable than Klay Thompson's 41-point performance in Game 6 is that an NBA player with that capability is content spending so much time in the shadows.

Even when Thompson cooked up the game of his life, a night he made more 3-pointers (11) than anyone ever had in the playoffs, he handed the chef's hat to Stephen Curry at the end.

It was Curry who applied the finishing touch to the Golden State Warriors' season-saving victory in Oklahoma City, banking in a floater over Serge Ibaka to give the Warriors a five-point lead with 14 seconds remaining.
