Klay Thompson had little words to explain a 115-111 loss to the once-cellar-dwelling Phoenix Suns on Sunday night besides an ice-cold shooting night, but he did call for a better reaction from the home crowd. The Golden State Warriors' backcourt duo of Thompson and Stephen Curry combined for a putrid 8-of-30 from beyond the arc (26.7 percent), with each shooting 4-of-15 from 3-point land en route to their worst loss of the season in terms of opponent strength.

Yet the 6-foot-7 guard requested more engagement from the crowd:

“I expect our crowd to go into it, too. I know it's not the playoffs. But it is our last go around at Oracle. Stand up or something when we make a play,” said Thompson, according to Mark Medina of The Mercury News. “We need that energy, especially this time of year. It's hard to conjure up energy every single night because you're looking forward to the playoffs in that run. So we expect our fans to kind of bring that from the jump. It's like us, though. You can't bring it every night. But it helps when it doesn't matter if you're playing the Suns or the Bucks, whoever it is. We need energy from them because we feed off of that.”

The crowd once known as “Roaracle” is no longer the thundering arena it was during the Warriors' earlier championship years, breaking NBA records in terms of deafening decibels of noise once the teams took their court.

Like the team, the crowd has also become complacent with the recent wave of success and come to expect a much better product than the Warriors have provided this season, also slow to respond and get into gear ahead of this playoff run.
