Watch Klay Thompson hit overtime game-winner to beat Clippers, cap 30-point night

Klay Thompson hit a corner three in overtime to give the Miami Heat a 117-116 win over the LA Clippers at the Intuit Dome. It was his first 30-point game since 2024, when he was still with the Golden State Warriors.

Klay Thompson vive para isso: o time atrás por dois, o relógio quase zerado e o último arremesso nas suas mãos.

“Não vou mentir, me senti muito bem”, disse Thompson depois de sua bola de três no canto, na prorrogação, dar ao Miami Heat a vitória por 117 a 116 sobre o LA Clippers, no Intuit Dome.

O arremesso coroou o primeiro jogo de Thompson com 30 pontos desde 2024, quando ele ainda estava no Golden State Warriors, e o Miami precisou de cada um desses pontos.

Erik Spoelstra creditou ao bloqueio na linha de fundo que Bam Adebayo aplicou no marcador de Thompson para liberá-lo. “[Thompson] teve um timing ótimo naquilo, e o Bam fez um bloqueio e tanto”, disse o técnico do Heat. “Foi apropriado poder terminar o jogo dessa forma.”
“Quem bloqueia normalmente não recebe muito crédito, mas esse é provavelmente o meu melhor bloqueio, com certeza”, disse Adebayo, que liderou o Miami com 35 pontos. “Eu só tinha de garantir que ele ficasse livre. O cara é um dos maiores arremessadores da história da liga.”

A primeira temporada de Thompson em Miami tem sido irregular, com a defesa como principal preocupação, mas jogador e técnico concordaram que o trabalho de condicionamento nos bastidores valeu a pena.

“Me sinto incrível. Não me sentia tão bem há muito tempo”, disse Thompson, que vem lutando contra problemas de lesão nas últimas temporadas. “Nenhuma dor nos membros inferiores, e sou muito grato por estar aqui. Eles me cobram responsabilidade, a equipe de preparação e a comissão técnica, e eu me sinto incrível. Não me sentia tão bem no início de uma temporada há anos.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo contribuiu com 27 para o Miami e acertou lances livres importantes no fim; Darius Garland liderou o Clippers com 26.

Agora Thompson e o Miami viajam para a Bay Area para enfrentar o antigo time dele, o Golden State Warriors.
