The Warriors have been waiting for Klay Thompson to regain his form and have a breakout game, and it finally happened against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night at Chase Center.
In just his fifth game since returning from a 31-month layoff due to two major lower leg injuries, Thompson dropped in a game-high 17 points in just over 11 minutes of action in the first half against the rebuilding Pistons.
Thompson capped his impressive first half with a 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer.
