Warriors Archive: The Making of a Champion, presented by HPE, continued tonight with a look back at a Klay versus Kobe Bryant showdown. Thompson finished with 41 in the Nov. 1, 2014 victory over the Lakers, which was shown in its entirety on the Warriors’ Facebook page (available in the Bay Area only).
ABOUT THE GAME
It was a Klay vs. Kobe showdown. The two opposing guards went back and forth with spectacular shots in the third quarter, but Thompson had the last laugh in this chapter with 28 of his then career-high 41 points in the second half of the Dubs’ 127-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Marc Spears of ESPN’s The Undefeated joins Warriors radio broadcaster Tim Roye to reflect on that night, especially the third quarter back-and-forth between Thompson and Bryant and the growth THompson displayed in the game.
