Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

@KlayThompsonMu: "Klay in a loss vs The Bucks:
16 Points, 2 REBs, 5 ASTs, 44% 3P, +1
We need a Mavs journalist to ask Jason Kidd why he still don't know how to effectively utilize Klay? Why he let Klay play for only 3 mins in the 3rd when The Bucks went on a scoring run? This keeps happening btw."

@barbara_ann23: "If Kidd would have just left Klay in (or let him play his normal quarter mins) the Bucks’ lead would not have ballooned up the way it did and the Mavs would’ve had a better fighting chance!!"
