What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Steve Kerr said that over the last month, head trainer Rick Celbirini told him Klay Thompson had been trending toward being able to playing in both ends of back-to-backs. Tonight happens to be that night. He said it does help that this is the last game before a 9-day break. – 8:34 PM

#Kings Mike Brown said Kevin Durant will make people in Phoenix go “Wow”
Recalls sitting on bench with legs crossed because #Warriors had Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, more. Said #Suns similar with Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, more pic.twitter.com/iEzsPMS6H2 – 7:44 PM

Klay Thompson hasn’t played a complete back-to-back set since April 2019. That’s expected to change tonight.
Thompson called this a “huge milestone” for him. His family will be in the house tonight. “It’s really a dream,” he said. mercurynews.com/2023/02/14/war… – 5:36 PM

Klay Thompson isn’t on the injury report. Looks like he’ll play his first back-to-back since April 4th and 5th in 2019.
But Andrew Wiggins, after his best game in 2023, is OUT due to personal reasons – 4:42 PM

All signs point to Klay Thompson being good to go tonight, the second half of a back-to-back. This will be the first time he’s played on consecutive nights in four years.
Andrew Wiggins listed out for personal reasons. – 4:34 PM

The hope is that Klay Thompson will be available tomorrow night at Clippers, Steve Kerr said. This would be the first time he’d play in both back-to-back games since before his 2019 injury. – 12:41 AM

Klay Thompson may be cleared for his first back-to-back since his return tomorrow in LA vs Clippers. Kerr said he “hopes” Klay will be cleared. Warriors have nine days off after that game for All-Star break. – 12:41 AM

Warriors are kinda different when Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins are on point. After 2 subpar games, they combined for 31 pts on 50pct shooting in first half. GSW 71, Wizards 66.
Will the defense show up? – 11:09 PM

Warriors up 71-66 at the half on the Wizards. Brutal defensive start. They still can’t gain traction on that end. Bench boost from Jerome/DiVincenzo. Klay Thompson has 20 points. Some bounce tonight. Dunked in traffic late in half. Kerr closed half with Moody. – 11:08 PM

Wizards go into halftime down 71-66 to the Warriors after Golden State won the 2nd quarter 42-27.
The Wiz were up by 15 points, but trail by 5 at the half. Klay Thompson is a big reason why with 20. – 11:07 PM

The Lakers trail 65-46 at the half and Dame Lillard is putting on a show. He’s up to 30 points already and is 8-for-12 from 3. He’s got a shot at catching Klay Thompson’s all-time record for 3s in a single game (14). – 11:02 PM
