The Golden State Warriors won their fifth straight game on Thursday, taking the Miami Heat, 120-100.

The Warriors were led by Stephen Curry, who finished the game with 29 points, shooting 47% from the field, and knocking down six of his 12 three-point attempts. Draymond Green had 11 assists in the contest, and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg contributed with 17 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.

In his latest return to the Bay, former Warrior Klay Thompson had 11 points, but shot 30% from the field and 2-for-7 from three.

One night before, Thompson hit the game-winning shot in overtime against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Speaking after the game, Curry said he texted Draymond after the game that it’s always great to see Klay and see him having fun.

“It’s still surreal to play against him because we’ve gone through so many battles together. It’s kind of cool, even at this stage, to guard him,” said Curry.

He noted that they run some of the same actions, just on the other side.

“Mostly, it’s the excitement that we’re still able to have battles. Every one you get is one closer to the end, so you appreciate the competitive spirit,” he said.

In a separate interview, Curry said that because Klay is in the Eastern Conference, he only gets to play against him two times a season.

Thursday was Miami’s only visit to the Chase Center unless the two teams meet in the NBA Finals.

Thompson left the Warriors in the 2024 offseason, signing with the Dallas Mavericks, who were coming off a run to the NBA Finals. He spent his first 13 seasons with the Warriors, though he missed two full seasons with injury, and won four championships alongside Draymond, Curry, and head coach Steve Kerr.

In eight career games against the Warriors, he is averaging 14.8 points, his lowest against any team of his career, but shooting 44% from three.

In his first two games back against the Warriors, he had 22 points in a loss and 29 points in a win, respectively with the Mavericks. He has yet to score 20+ points against Golden State since those two games.

Thompson did have a block on Curry on Thursday, catching Curry at the rim after a backcut that left him briefly alone for a layup. Thompson was able to recover and get his former teammate from behind.

Thompson is averaging 13.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists on 43% shooting from the field and 41% from three this season. He signed with Miami after working out a buyout with Dallas.
