Klay Thompson erupts for 35 points off the bench, leads Warriors to victory over Jazz

For the first time since his rookie season in 2012, Thompson came off the bench in their 140-137
win over Salt Lake City, and scored a season-high 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting with zero
turnovers and personal fouls.
Thompson also surpassed the 15,000-point mark in his career. He became the 153rd player in
NBA history to do so and the sixth player in Warriors franchise history to reach the milestone,
joining Stephen Curry, Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Paul Arizin, and Chris Mullin.
Coach Steve Kerr had rookie guard Brandin Podziemski replace Thompson in the starting lineup
and he finished with 13 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. Draymond Green chipped in a
season-high 23 points for the Warriors. Andrew Wiggins added 19 points and seven rebounds
while Stephen Curry had 16 points and 10 assists.
Thompson got the offense going for the Warriors as he scored 17 points in the Warriors’ 84-point
first half. He then continued to erupt in the third with 18 points in the third frame.
After trailing by 18 points to start the fourth quarter, Utah made it a one-possession game in the
final two minutes.
Markkanen and Collin Sexton each made a pair of baskets to fuel a 13-2 run that cut Golden
State’s lead to 138-137 in the final minute. Lauri Markkanen missed a potential go-ahead corner
three, and Collins grabbed the offensive rebounds but threw the ball away with 3.1 seconds left.
Curry made two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining before Sexton missed a good look on
the final play.
Sexton led the Jazz with 35 points and nine assists. Rookie Keyonte George added a career-high
33 points while making a career-high nine 3-pointers. Markkanen finished with 20 points while
John Collins tallied 18. They had 13 rebounds apiece.

Golden State improved to 27-26 as tenth in the West, while Utah slid 26-30 as 11th in the same
conference
