Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson sparked online conversations after posting on Instagram following the team’s 118-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in Texas.
“No place like home,” Thompson captioned his post, which included game photos. The post drew mixed reactions from fans, with many celebrating his happiness and performance.
“Happy Klay is the best Klay,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “The KTX have been amazing on court.” Some fans reflected on the nostalgia of the game, with one saying, “Last night’s game brought back memories. He did that.” Another supporter added, “It’s so good to see you happy, champ.”
However, not everyone agreed with the sentiment behind Thompson’s caption. “Not home but ok as long as you’re happy,” one fan remarked. Another wrote, “My heart hurts reading that caption.” A third added, “You’re not home, Klay. Bay Area 4L.”
Thompson contributed 13 points, two assists, and one steal in 29 minutes, playing a crucial role in the Mavericks’ victory. His sharpshooting proved pivotal in shifting the game’s momentum, helping Dallas snap a five-game losing streak and improving their record to 21-16, as reported by ESPN.
Notably, Thompson recently surpassed Reggie Miller to claim fifth place on the NBA’s all-time three-pointers made list. Despite missing key players Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks capitalized on Thompson’s performance and the Lakers’ defensive lapses to secure the win.
