Watch: Klay Thompson hits clutch 3-pointer to help Warriors close vs. Nets
After the Golden State Warriors vaulted to an early lead, the Brooklyn Nets surged back into Saturday’s primetime contest behind Kyrie Irving. With Irving pushing the Nets into a battle, the Warriors needed a clutch bucket in the fourth quarter to seal a victory.
On Saturday, a vintage Klay Thompson jumper from beyond the arc helped close out the Nets.
With the Warriors clinging to a one-point advantage with just seconds remaining, Steph Curry flipped a pass to Thompson. After getting the ball, the 31-year-old shooting guard quickly pulled up to bury a deep triple with 12 seconds left in the contest.
