Klay Thompson scored 23 points, with 16 coming in a decisive second quarter, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 120-106 victory over the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament. This performance marked a redemption for Thompson, who infamously went 0-for-10 in a similar game last year. The Mavericks’ win keeps their season alive, advancing them to face the Memphis Grizzlies for a chance to secure the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
