Klay Thompson’s 30 points helps Warriors even series vs. Lakers
SAN FRANCISCO — Klay Thompson was due for a big game.Thompson opened the floodgates in the second quarter, scoring 14 points and making four 3s, to help put the Warriors back into the driver seat of Game 2 as they cruised to a 127-100 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Western Conference semifinal series is now tied at one-win apiece before it heads to Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green both notched double-doubles. Curry tallied 12 assists, the most he’s had in the playoffs under Steve Kerr, to go with his 20 points. And Green, who was frustrated after getting into foul trouble in Game 1, recorded 11 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. The Lakers tied the game twice early in the second quarter, but the momentum was on the Warriors’ side the remainder of the way.
Kerr started to clear his bench in the fourth, with the Lakers’ starters — including Anthony Davis, who was basically a non-factor in Game 2 — nowhere in sight.
