Klay Thompson on what impressed him about Jordan Poole:
“When you see a player care that much and you see him care about his performance, that’s what really impresses me and I’m not surprised by his growth because he’s an extremely hard worker and he’s only gonna get better.” – 1:39 AM

Jonathan Kuminga sounded shocked that Klay Thompson could pass the ball.
“Growing up watching Klay play basketball, I never really seen him pass the ball the way he did today. So it’s surprising.” – 1:32 AM

Klay Thompson said he hyper extended his left knee the other night, which caused some soreness and swelling. He said the swelling went down, so he felt good going out there tonight. – 1:15 AM

Steve Kerr has a plan for Jordan Poole.
“If he can attack the way he did tonight and be aggressive while coming off the bench, it gives us more punch with that second unit…Then if we can mix him in with Steph and Klay like we did, it gives us another lineup combination.” – 12:58 AM

Klay Thompson’s minutes restriction was bumped up to around 25 tonight, per Steve Kerr. He said plan is to avoid extended rests on the bench, so expect the start of 1Q, start of 2Q stints and then, if game is close, three separate second half stints in order for him to close. – 12:39 AM

FINAL: Warriors get the 130-92 rout of the Mavericks. A lot to like from this one. Klay’s best game since he returned. Solid all-around defense without Draymond. And, of course, some late fireworks from Kuminga. – 12:15 AM

Cleanest Warriors win in awhile. Balanced offense, steady defense. Blew out a Mavericks team that had been playing well. Won by 38, led by as many as 39. Double digit scorers: Kuminga 22, Curry 18, Poole 17, Klay 15, Wiggins 14, Porter 12, Bjelica 10. Record: 35-13. – 12:14 AM

Giving Klay minutes at the 3 (for Wiggins) seems to give grant more creative license to Jordan Poole. Both flourishing tonight – 11:49 PM

This is the most even distribution of scoring from the Warriors’ top four scorer since Klay returned:
Wiggins has 14
Klay has 13
Poole has 13
Steph has 11
Seven minutes left in the third. A good sign for GSW that these guys are gelling on that end after some growing pains. – 11:26 PM

More on this storyline
Klay Thompson was a late scratch yesterday. So is there any sense that his absence could extend beyond missing just that one game? Marc J. Spears: Yeah, no warriors aren’t too concerned. This is the same knee that’s clever in the finals and that game six against the raptors, but it’s just some soreness and they’re erring on the side of caution. Everything I’m hearing is he’s expected to play tomorrow night against Dallas. -via YouTube / January 25, 2022
