After a rather concerning start to the 2022-23 season, the Golden State Warriors have finally found their rhythm. With only their 2nd win on the road, Stephen Curry and co. improved their record to a >.500 11-10 following a 137-114 win over the Wolves.

Grabbing their 3rd straight win, it was yet another great performance by Steph. The 2-time MVP played 32:37 minutes and managed to record 25-point, 11-rebound, and 8-assist near triple-double.
Curry’s Splash Brother also had a pretty terrific outing. Currently playing some efficient basketball, Klay Thompson recorded 21 points with a box plus-minus of a game-high +31 while shooting 61.5% from the field and 62.5% from beyond the arc.
“Man, I just used some great words”: Klay Thompson impressed himself postgame
During the postgame interview, Thompson spoke about the Warriors’ performance. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard termed “not fouling” and “ball movement” as the two reasons behind their victory. Klay stated:
“We’re so great in transition, and that flow really benefits us, I think, the most,” Thompson said postgame. He added, “So the not fouling and the ball movement were really the two components that propelled us to this victory, I think.”
Immediately after the sharpshooter finished his answer, he couldn’t help but be proud of the vocabulary he just used. He further said:
“Man, I just used some great words.”

After a pretty horrific start to the season, Klay has finally found his groove.
Over the past 5 games, the $70 million worth star has been averaging 24 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting the ball at an incredible 53/56/80 split.

With Thompson beating the ‘washed’ allegations, the Warriors can finally rise up the standings now that they’re merely 3 games behind the top-seeded Phoenix Suns.
