Klay Thompson Shines in Mavericks Debut Against Spurs

Posted : 25 October 2024

Klay Thompson made an impressive debut with the Dallas Mavericks, contributing 22 points in their 120-109 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. After spending 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, the 34-year-old's transition to Texas last summer raised questions about his performance level, particularly since some viewed the move as an indication that his prime was behind him. However, Thompson's performance showcased his ongoing skill, as he also recorded seven rebounds and three steals in just 26 minutes on the court.

 

A remarkable aspect of Thompson's scoring came from his three-point shooting, with 18 of his 22 points coming from beyond the arc, setting a record for the most points scored on debut by a Mavericks player in this manner. Following the game, Thompson expressed his satisfaction, noting, "It's only one game in October, but it feels good just to get that first one out of the way." He described the experience as filled with excitement, emphasizing the significance of making a strong first impression.

 

This game also marked the first time Thompson played alongside Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić, who acknowledged feeling a bit "rusty" after missing significant portions of the pre-season. Dončić praised Thompson, stating, "It's easy to play with a guy like that. It makes your life easier. You got to find him," highlighting the chemistry they began to build on the court.

 

In other NBA action, the Boston Celtics continued their strong start to the season with a 122-102 win over the Washington Wizards. The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a narrow victory against the Sacramento Kings, edging them out 117-115, while the Denver Nuggets faced a setback, losing 102-87 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
