Mavericks' Klay Thompson gets honest about his game against Steph Curry

The Dallas Mavericks lost 120-117 to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, spoiling Klay Thompson's return to the Bay Area. Thompson had a good game overall, scoring 22 points and making six three-pointers, but Stephen Curry stole the show.

Curry led all players in the game with 37 points and nine assists and scored the final 12 points for the Warriors as part of a 12-3 run to win the game. Dallas led 114-108 with 3:29 left, but succumbed to Curry's greatness.

After the game, Thompson described what it's like to be on the other side of a Curry run after playing with him for so long.

“It hurts to be on the other side [Curry’s] “The guy was hot at the end and took some ridiculous shots,” Thompson said in his postgame press conference. I've been on the other end and it sucks. But we'll play them three more times so we can hopefully learn from it and get to know their tendencies a little better.

It was another disappointing end to a game for the Mavericks, who fell to 5-6 with the loss to the Warriors. After reaching the NBA Finals, this isn't how they envisioned their season, but they have some clear issues to address. They will play at the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.
