Klay Thompson's Return Fuels Warriors' Rout of Mavericks, Irving Sparks Suns' Win

Thompson Erupts for 32, Curry Adds 21 as Warriors Cruise

Klay Thompson made a triumphant return to the Golden State Warriors lineup, scoring 32 points in a 141-114 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night.

Thompson, who missed the entire 2019-20 season with a torn ACL and the majority of the 2020-21 campaign with a torn Achilles, shot 12-of-20 from the field, including 8-of-14 from three-point range.

Stephen Curry added 21 points for the Warriors, who improved to 3-0 on the season.

Irving Powers Suns Past Timberwolves

Kyrie Irving exploded for 30 points in the Phoenix Suns' 113-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Irving, who was acquired by the Suns in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason, shot 10-of-19 from the field, including 6-of-12 from three-point range.

Deandre Ayton added 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Suns, who improved to 2-1 on the season.

Thompson's Return a Welcome Sight for Warriors

Thompson's return was a major boost for the Warriors, who have struggled with injuries in recent seasons.

With Thompson back in the lineup, the Warriors have a formidable offensive attack that features three All-Stars in Thompson, Curry, and Draymond Green.

Thompson's shooting ability will open up the floor for Curry and Green, making the Warriors even more dangerous on offense.

Irving a Perfect Fit for Suns

Irving's arrival in Phoenix has given the Suns a much-needed boost.

Irving is a dynamic scorer who can create his own shot and make plays for others.

With Irving in the lineup, the Suns have a legitimate chance to compete for a championship this season.
