On Thursday night, the Dallas Mavericks beat the Boston Celtics by a score of 127-120.
One of the biggest reasons for the win was the play of Klay Thompson.
The four-time NBA Champion finished with 25 points, three rebounds and four assists while shooting 11/17 from the field and 3/6 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time.
