Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson literally could not miss on Wednesday night.
He dropped 43 points, 27 of which came in the third quarter, in the team’s 128-103 drubbing of the Phoenix Suns. It’s almost as if he was warming up for something in the near future, something big.
Well, as it turns out, the Warriors have their rematch against the Milwaukee Bucks at Oracle Arena on Friday night. Remember, Milwaukee handed Golden State its first loss of the season last weekend, and celebrated like they had won the NBA Finals.
Thompson clearly hasn’t forgotten about it. Check out what he had to say after Wednesday’s game.
Klay Thompson felt the Bucks could have won with more class and is looking forward to Friday.

Klay Thompson: “We thought at the time they could have won with a little more class some of those guys, but I’d have been fired up too.”

The two teams will square off at 10:30 p.m. ET. The game looks to be must-see TV, and probably will be until the Warriors are blowing the doors off their opponent by halftime, if not earlier.
You poked the bear, Bucks. And now you’re going to pay for it.
