Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson experienced an emotional reunion at the Chase Center on Tuesday night as Thompson faced the Golden State Warriors for the first time since joining the Dallas Mavericks. The game was close until the end, with Curry’s outstanding 37-point performance ultimately leading the Warriors to a 120-117 victory over their former teammate’s new squad.

The spotlight throughout the game was firmly on the “Splash Brothers,” who spent 13 memorable seasons together in the Bay Area, capturing four NBA championships. Fans were treated to nostalgic moments as Curry and Thompson went head-to-head on opposite teams, reliving the excitement of their partnership while now competing against each other.

Thompson clarified that his bond with his former team, especially with Curry, remains strong. In the second quarter, he playfully reminded fans of his connection with his “Splash Brother,” which Dallas loved immediately.

After sinking a corner three, Thompson celebrated by imitating Curry’s signature shimmy move. Sitting on the Warriors’ bench with a towel draped over his head, Curry was seen shaking his head with a smile, clearly enjoying the moment.

Klay Thompson Shares Bittersweet Feelings After Facing Former Team

After his first game against the Warriors since joining the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson opened up about the experience of playing against his former team. Thompson admitted it was tough to be on the receiving end of his friend’s scoring outburst.

 

It hurts to be on the other side of one of his flurries. Guy got hot at the end and made some ridiculous shots. I know I’ve been on the other end, and it sucks,” Thompson said.

Curry ended the game with 37 points, while Thompson scored 22 points to his team’s loss. For fans, this game was a chance to relive memories of the duo’s incredible run in the Bay Area. The “Splash Brothers” may now be on different teams, but their bond and mutual respect remain strong.
