West Conf. Finals - Game 6: Houston Rockets 86-115 Golden State Warriors - 5 Talking Points

Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson

Stephen Curry had 29 points, Kevin Durant had 23 and Draymond Green stuffed the stat sheet with 4 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals but the Warriors' best player in Game 6 was, without a doubt, Klay Thompson. There's just something about possible elimination Game 6's that bring out the best in him.

35 points & 9 triples! Klay had no desire to go home!#NBAPlayoffs | #DubNation pic.twitter.com/fCSf43cIrI

He had 35 points tonight on 56.5% shooting and 64.3% (9-of-14) from beyond the arc but he was also working more than ever on the other end of the court. Making Harden earn each point and finishing with 4 steals for the game.

Very rarely do you see Thompson as animated as he was today. He was talking back and gesturing to the crowd multiple times after he made a 3 or got a defensive stop to get them hyped. When Klay gets rolling, the Warriors are really playing "their offense" because so many of his shots are off cuts and screens. And that's the way, Steve Kerr would want them to play and not isolations or one-dribble pull-ups.
