@ilovekt1131: "What worked for them in the first quarter? Involving Klay Thompson.

What has gone wrong in the last 2+ quarters? Not involving Klay Thompson."

Noah Weber: "Slight off-ball movement works wonders for Klay Thompson.

He’s on an absolute heater recently."

@Hero_OfThe_Day: "Klay Thompson had a 10 point 1st quarter, only played 6 minutes in the 2nd, despite the Mavs struggling to score for stretches.

I like Dante Exum, but he’s clearly rusty. We need 30-32 minutes from Klay, this game, if we want to win."
