Klay Thompson came to Dallas to change the narrative around him. Overnight, it worked brilliantly.
Thompson put up 22 points and knocked down six 3-pointers in his Dallas Mavericks debut, and his new team collected the 120-109 victory over San Antonio.
Six 3-pointers set the new Mavericks record in a player’s debut with the team.
Luka Dončić on playing with Klay Thompson: “It’s easy to play with a guy like that. It makes your life easier. You have to find him… It makes my life and Kai’s life easier. It makes life easier for the whole team. There’s a lot of space, so it’s great.”

After a bit of a slow start, Dallas got rolling in this one, and Luka Doncic was in the middle of the sea with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, including this one where he has eyes in the back of his head.
That’s a near-perfect start to the season for Thompson and the Mavericks.
