They will now play their next game on Tuesday evening when they host the Dallas Mavericks at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Emotions will be running high, as it will be the first time that Klay Thompson faces off against the Warriors after spending 13 years (and winning four NBA Championships) with the franchise.

After Sunday's victory, Anthony Slater of The Athletic spoke to Curry.

The two-time MVP was very honest about seeing Thompson in a Mavs uniform with a different number (h/t HoopsHype).

Slater: "Has it been weird for you to see him in a Mavericks jersey?"

Curry: "Yeah, that's kind of like every teammate that you have a history with... It's weird seeing 31. I hate that."
