When K. Thompson played for the Warriors last year in the Western Conference playoffs against the then No. 9 Kings, K. Thompson played 32 minutes, shot 0-of-10 without scoring a point, becoming the biggest war criminal of the game, and this game was also his last game for the Warriors.

Coming to Sacramento again this year, K. Thompson has changed to the Mavericks jersey, he showed his might in the second quarter 5 shots, soared into 4 three-pointers, scored 16 points, and helped the Mavericks, who trailed by 2 points in the first quarter, to lay the foundation for the victory in this quarter, 8 of 11 shots, including 5 three-pointers, with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, and the plus/minus of 31 was the best on the team.

Commenting on last season's sluggish finish, K. Thompson said, "When your season ends in such a bad way, you naturally want to stand up and prove that everyone is wrong, it's human nature, and I started the game today with a good job on the defensive end, fighting for rebounds, and that comes with that feeling." I knew I had a poor performance in this arena in the last game of last year, but I tried to forget about it and take my chances in the second quarter. ”

K. Thompson said that the Mavericks have had a tumultuous season, and important player Irving has been reimbursed for the season with a knee injury, "but we are still trying hard to keep the playoff hopes, and it is a privilege to have the ball at this point in time, and I hope we can give the city of Dallas some hope and carry the good performance into the next game against the Grizzlies." ”
