Tuesday’s 113-92 victory over the visiting Miami Heat was fueled by 28 points from Klay Thompson on 11 of 20 shots, and one of the best defensive efforts of the Golden State Warriors’ season.
After losing its previous two games, Golden State (37–34) seized the lead for the majority of the game and took command in the fourth quarter. The Warriors extended their lead to 22 points during the quarter by limiting Miami to just 6-of-22 shooting.
