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.

Klay Thompson didn't sugarcoat it when asked to describe the kind of season the Dallas Mavericks had in 2024-25. The Mavericks officially bowed out of playoff contention after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies in the final game of NBA Play-In Tournament.

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.
