Klay Thompson finished the loss with 18 points, two rebounds and three assists while shooting 7/15 from the field and 4/11 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time. Thompson had signed with the Mavs (over the summer) to help them return to the NBA Finals.

After struggling in last year's play-in tournament in Sacramento, Klay Thompson bounced back on Wednesday during the Mavs win over the Kings.

Klay Thompson's performance Wednesday was in stark contrast to last season's play-in flop and helped the Mavericks eliminate the Kings for a shot at the West's final playoff berth.
