Klay is back

After missing the last two seasons due to ACL and Achilles’ tendon tears, Klay Thompson finally returned to the Warriors lineup amid much fanfare. In his 19 minutes of action, he scored 17 points on 7/18 from the floor, had a dunk and knocked down three of his eight of his three-point attempts.
