Tuesday night was supposed to be all about Klay Thompson, who was returning to face the Warriors for the first time since signing with the Mavericks this past summer. Thompson got his tribute -- a rousing one at that -- and his standing ovation and he even went out and drained six 3-pointers on his way to 22 points.

Tuesday started as a ballad to their returning dynasty mate. It ended with a reminder that this is still very much Stephen Curry's ship.

Curry took over in the final minutes, leading the Warriors past Thompson’s Mavericks on a night of nostalgia for Golden State.
