Klay Thompson drains last-second jumper as Warriors sneak out win over Kings

The Warriors and Kings traded leads 12 times but it was decided on a clutch jumper from Klay Thompson.

Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry takes a shot against Sacramento Kings’ Harrison Barnes in the first quarter at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023. SAN FRANCISCO — This one had all the makings of a “trap game,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before tipoff Wednesday.

It took until the the 6-minute mark of the second quarter for Curry to make his second shot from the field, but he finished with a team-high 21 points. Down 1 with less than a minute to play, Curry crossed over behind his back and converted an acrobatic go-ahead layup. In absence of a dominating effort from Curry — a season-low in scoring and a season-high in turnovers — Golden State kept it close, never trailing by more than 11, with contributions from its supporting cast. Six players finished in double-digits, including newcomer Dario Saric, who knocked down a couple clutch 3-point shots while turning in his best game as a Warrior, finishing with 15 points.

Thompson’s last-second jumper gave him 14 points, while Draymond Green contributed 13 to go with nine assists.
