Klay Thompson got the ovation he deserves.
But in a sea of captain hats and number 11 jerseys, leave it to his Splash Brother to ruin an otherwise perfect night.
Captain Klay finished the game with 22 points, six triples, four boards, and three dimes. And while we appreciate his Golden State contributions, Dallas rejuvenated his career as the third man in their Big Three. Luka Doncic had 31 points, although it could have been more if he wasn't 2-of-10 from downtown, and Kyrie Irving had 21 points and six assists.
Meanwhile, Curry cooked the Mavs by scoring nearly 30 percent of his team's points and was one assist shy of nailing a double-double. 15 of his 37 points came from the three-point area as well and got help from Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, De'Anthony Melton, and his supposed replacement, Buddy Hield.
