Klay Thompson is trying to help the Golden State Warriors get back up to playoff contention. There is a big foe ahead of them in the Phoenix Suns which means that everyone on Steve Kerr's needs to be motivated to get their 25th win of the season. Breaking even in their win-loss record will boost their chances of making a run. The team's star sharpshooter might even be inspired after receiving a gift that reminds him of his dog, Rocco.

Some fans were waving to Klay Thompson before they faced the Suns. It was to the surprise of the Warriors guard that he saw his dog, Rocco, painted on canvas. The family then gave the painting to Thompson. He then had a conversation with them and also took photos that the family will never forget.
