NBA 2018-19: Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors: 3 Talking Points

#2 Klay Thompson's struggle continues

Klay Thompson's struggle shooting the ball continues

Klay Thompson only had 14 points in the season opener against the Thunder. In the recent outing against the Jazz, he scored just 12 points and had a disappointing game. His struggle continued against the Nuggets. He had 15 points on the night but went 1-6 from beyond the arc, and that is definitely a concern for the Warriors.

Thompson opened his account with a jumper from elbow region early in the first quarter. However, he remained cold for the rest of the game barring a dunk in the forth quarter. In the fourth, with close to 5 minutes remaining in the game and down by 6, Thompson had a thunderous dunk after cutting in backdoor.

Klay finished with 15 points on 7-16 shooting. As it is still early in the season, Warriors' team management need not be very bothered about Thompson's form, but it will start to matter when they meet really good defensive teams like the Nuggets.
