@bandzlewis20: "Klay cooking"

@mcgboye: "Klay doesn't close games for the Mavs and it's not a national story. If that was the Warriors, people would be questioning Kerr's coaching qualifications."

@BruceTennen: "Klay Thompson looks like Klay Thompson of the Warriors tonight.

@gocougs77: "Everyone of them is in and out. Could have been a huge night for Klay"

Omari Sankofa II: "Mavs open the second half with three consecutive 3-pointers, the last two from Klay."
