Opponents to Teammates
The last time Donte DiVincenzo and Jordan Poole played at the Alamodome, DiVincenzo's Villanova defeated Poole's Michigan 79-62 in the 2018 National Championship. DiVincenzo scored 31 points in that game, the most ever for a player coming off the bench in a title game, and was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
Fast forward almost five years to Friday night, and it was both DiVincenzo and Poole leading their team to victory. Poole scored a team-high 25 points, his ninth consecutive game scoring 20-or-more points.
DiVincenzo's 22 points were the second most in the game, and the most he has scored in a game since April 8, 2021. The guard also added seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in one of his most effective games as a Warrior.

Klay's Quick Seven
Seven of Klay Thompson's 16 points on the night came in a 46-second span in the third quarter. With the Warriors leading by seven points early in the third quarter, Thompson took Romeo Langford off the dribble and finished a fadeaway in the paint. On the next Dubs possession, Draymond Green found a cutting Thompson as he finished with his left hand over Jakob Poeltl. On the third possession, Kevon Looney found Thompson in the corner, who pump-faked as a Spurs player jumped right by him, then knocked down a corner three to give the Dubs an 11-point lead, forcing a Spurs timeout.
Thompson also surpassed 5,000 career made field goals on the night, becoming the eighth player in franchise history to reach the mark.
