The Golden State Warriors spoiled Klay Thompson’s return to Chase Center, earning a 120-117 victory behind Steph Curry’s 37 points. Thompson finished with 22 points in the game, but no one on the Mavericks could stop Curry down the stretch.

The Splash Brothers spent some time guarding each other in this match, with Curry assigning the assignment to Thompson early on. It was strange for everyone, and it was something Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talked about after the game.

“We went over our pre-game scouting and matchups,” Kerr told reporters. “It was almost surreal to say, ‘Steph, you have Klay.’ Steph smiled.

This video shared by The Athletic’s Anthony Slater went viral on X, racking up over 1,000 likes in just 10 minutes of being posted.

While Curry and Thompson spent time guarding each other in practice, nothing could have prepared the longtime teammates for this moment in a real NBA game. A photo of the two players also went viral on social media, as fans are still eyeing Curry keeping his Splash Brother.

Curry’s fourth-quarter explosion helped Golden State secure a victory after Dallas began to create some separation. Thompson hit a few big threes in the final frame, but it was his former teammate who took over to give Golden State its ninth win of the season.
