What happens when Stephen Curry gets going against a team featuring Klay Thompson? Golden State's familiar shooting partnership becomes an exchange across opposing sides, before Curry helps turn a close game into a comfortable Warriors win.
Thompson has his moments in Miami colors: a block at the rim against his former team, then a deep three with his signature celebration. Will Richard answers that shot from long range almost immediately. But the game shifts after halftime, when Curry starts landing contested threes and stretching Miami's defense.
One sequence captures the old Golden State understanding that remains intact. Draymond Green grabs an offensive rebound, finds Curry relocating beyond the arc, and watches him knock down another shot. Curry points back at Green.
The Warriors win 120-100, with the younger bench group closing out the fourth quarter. Yaxel Lendeborg contributes scoring, rebounding and playmaking, giving the comment section something to discuss beyond Curry's shooting. Viewers keep returning to the reserves' ability to protect the lead, Lendeborg's partnership with Curry and the unfamiliar sight of Thompson on the other side.
The NBA's full-game highlights have drawn about 1.8 million views before their first day is complete, far beyond the channel's usual start. Separate Shorts featuring Thompson's block, Curry arranging a photo with Thompson, and Lendeborg interrupting Green's postgame interview are also running above their usual pace: the reunion has both basketball and a little mischief.

Steve Kerr pulled Curry & Draymond out around 7min. in the 4th and the young group from the bench were able to maintain the lead. Warriors don't have that last year.

@gmc1711See it on YouTubeI can't believe no-one is giving love to Draymond for what he was doing tonight. He was fire.
