@SheKnowsSports: "Call me crazy, but I’m still that person that thinks that every time Klay Thompson throws up the ball it’s going to be a made basket. The quickness, the form, the release. Just looks on point every time."

Grant Afseth: "Klay Thompson hits a pivotal three to make it 101-99. The Mavericks get a defensive stop, then call a timeout with 48.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Dallas trailed by as many as 28 points earlier in the game."

Thompson is in his first season playing for Dallas.

They will play their next game on Friday evening when they visit Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns in Arizona.
