Nuggets spoil Klay Thompson’s return to play

After missing the Warriors’ first preseason games due to a “psychological block”, Klay Thompson finally played again. And it was worth the wait.

As announced by Steve Kerr, the full-back only played 16 minutes and only in the first half. It was enough to register all the same 18 points. “It was amazing”he confided after the meeting. “I’m really happy with my feelings. »

The defending champions arrive at the break with an eight-point lead, but in the third quarter, the Nuggets dominate the debates (42-20) and reverse the trend. Despite the good performances of Stephen Curry, James Wiseman or Jonathan Kuminga, the Californians will not be able to come back.

Without Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and his teammates win 112-119 and end their preseason with a third victory in a row. For Golden State, this is the second setback in five games.
