Thompson on Golden State’s fans
Klay Thompson describes how Golden State’s fan base has changed since he entered the NBA and how earlier we could see just a couple of diehard Warriors’ fans on the road and now it’s a different situation with the popularity of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
"We used to have no fans on the road. Maybe one or two diehards."

Lillard didn’t hesitate to take shots from pretty much anywhere and he ended the tilt with a game-high 30 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three thefts.
