Klay Thompson sent Golden State Warriors fans into a frenzy after hitting the game-winning shot against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Thompson, who struggled with his shot all night, confidently made the jumper to give the Warriors the 102-101 win at Chase Center.

Domantas Sabonis gave the Kings a one-point lead with 14 seconds left in the game. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did not call a timeout and let his players make a play. The Kings neutralized Curry, who had no other choice but to give up the ball to Draymond Green.

Green then passed the ball to Thompson with three seconds left. He put the move on Davion Mitchell before shooting the ball over him. Keegan Murray almost blocked the shot from behind, but Thompson's shot went in with 0.2 seconds left. The Warriors got the stop on the other to earn their fourth straight win.

Fans on social media went crazy as Klay Thompson proved that he still has the clutch gene in him. Thompson finished the game with 14 points and three blocks, while Steph Curry had 21 points, five rebounds and three assists.

One fan poked fun at the Sacramento Kings for continuously getting beat by Curry and Thompson:

"Kings fans have nightmares of Steph and Klay."

Another fan loved that Klay Thompson finally beat allegations that he's washed:

"He's finally beating the washed allegations."

This Warriors fan is just happy to see Thompson playing after all he has gone through since 2019:

"After all he's been thru these past 5 years, through the torn ACL, and the torn Achilles, and the shooting slumps. Klay turns back the clocks and hits a filthy game-winner."

One fan believes this game-winner will help Thompson's shooting woes:

"Great for his shooting confidence going forward!"

One Warriors fan decided to take a shot at people who preferred Jordan Poole over Klay Thompson:

"Can't believe people actually wanted to keep Poole over this guy."
