Klay Thompson must have warmed up pregame in the Hot Tub Time Machine, because the vintage Thompson from a decade ago showed up in the first quarter Monday night in Dallas. Thompson knocked down seven 3-pointers in the first quarter on the Wizards.

The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards on Monday night and got out to a dominating start, thanks to future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. He scored 21 points in the first quarter, outscoring the Wizards by himself, as Washington had just 16 points in the first 12 minutes.

Kyrie Irving dropped an eye-opening Klay Thompson admission following the Mavericks' victory against the Pelicans.

Klay Thompson drained seven 3-pointers in the first quarter on the way to a game-high 23 points and the Dallas Mavericks handed the visiting Washington Wizards a 14th straight loss with a 130-108 blowout on Monday.

Thompson tied a Mavericks record set by Luka Doncic three seasons ago with a vintage performance reminiscent of his prime with the Warriors.

Klay Thompson's explosive first quarter against the Washington Wizards on Monday night reminded him of his iconic game against the Sacramento Kings 10 years ago.

Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards on Monday. Even without Luka Doncic, the Mavs looked to sweep the season series against a team in the midst of a 13-game losing slump.

"It reminds you that there’s greatness still within you," Thompson said after a blistering first quarter against the Wizards.

The Dallas Mavericks have finally built some momentum to bring on a two-game win streak, but Jason Kidd still has an issue to address when it comes to Klay Thompson.

The 2027 first-round pick was the only one Dallas had to offer because NBA rules prohibit trading first-round picks in successive years, and the Mavericks, at the time, owed the Knicks a first-rounder in 2024 or 2025 from the Kristaps Porzingis deal ( it officially became the ‘24 pick in April) and Brooklyn one in 2029 from the Irving deal.

The Knicks have won five in a row including wins over teams like the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Kings who have all been surging. New York is sitting at No. 3 in the East and is just a game back of the Celtics for the No. 2 seed. The Knicks are jelling at the right time as they continue to move forward with their season.
