Sharp-shooting Klay Thompson committed such a blatant traveling violation during the Golden State Warriors‘ 135-90 demolition of the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, that his own teammates ratted him out from the bench.
The 6-foot-7 sniper got the ball in the corner, pump-faked once to get a trailing Maurice Harkless up in the air, then again after he recovered, then shuffled his feet repeatedly before launching a trey that ultimately clunked off the side of the rim.
Teammates Andre Iguodala and Ian Clark were seen up in arms at a very obvious call even from across the opposite side of the court.
The call, though evident, wasn't made by the officials and Thompson managed to finish the game with 16 points and no turnovers, enjoying the entire fourth quarter from the bench.
Clark made the most of his minutes, pouring in a season-high 23 points off the bench. Him and Kevin Durant combined for a mind-blowing 57 points on 20-of-24 from the field in the 45-point rout.
