Klay Thompson finished the loss with 18 points, two rebounds and three assists while shooting 7/15 from the field and 4/11 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time. Thompson had signed with the Mavs (over the summer) to help them return to the NBA Finals.

Klay Thompson left the Golden State Warriors last offseason and shunned a more lucrative offer from the Los Angeles Lakers for the Dallas Mavericks because of his strong belief that he could compete for a championship with Luka Dončić.

Klay Thompson got brutally honest while discussing his 0-10 play-in tournament performance last year with the Warriors.
