Klay Thompson: Impressive despite ankle injury in Game 2 win

Thompson seemed unfazed by his ankle issues, generating the second-best shooting
percentage among the Warriors on the night. The 28-year-old guard is now
draining a blistering 55.2 percent of his 14.5 attempts per game through the
first two contests versus the Cavaliers, a tally that includes an impressive
44.4 percent success rate from three-point range. Following a lackluster stretch
in Games 2-4 of the conference finals against the Rockets when he averaged just
10.3 points on 34.2 percent shooting, Thompson has bounced back to score at
least 20 points in four of the subsequent five postseason contests. He’ll look
to maintain his hot hand when Golden State tries to take a commanding 3-0 series
lead in Wednesday’s Game 3.
