The adoring Warriors fans greeted him with a standing ovation while donning signature Klay Thompson captain hats. Every time he touched the ball, there was a cheer. It sounded like a home game for the Mavericks every time he shot it.

Curry took over in the final minutes, leading the Warriors past Thompson’s Mavericks on a night of nostalgia for Golden State.

Right after speaking at the podium postgame, Klay Thompson walked across the bowels of Chase Center and into the Warriors’ home locker room, fully dressed in a blue blazer and khakis with his newest captain’s hat.
