The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night. And it was safe to say the game did not disappoint. The Giants and Dodgers tend to play competitive baseball against one another given their historic rivalry, and that held true in Game 1 of a four-game series in Los Angeles. For LA, the usual suspects played well in the Dodgers 9-6 victory. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman homered, Trea Turner had a couple of hits, and Justin Turner added a pair of RBI's. However, Trayce Thompson was arguably the MVP of the game… and his brother Klay Thompson took notice.
Klay Thompson gave his brother an epic shout-out that will please both Dodgers and Golden State Warriors fans.
Thompson’s love triples.

For context, Trayce Thompson had two hits including a clutch RBI triple. The outfielder has been impressive since re-signing with the Dodgers earlier this season. He has been one of the biggest surprises of the year for LA.
Klay Thompson has to be proud of his brother. The Thompsons are quickly taking over California, as Klay is a legend in the Bay Area and Trayce is becoming a fan-favorite in So Cal.
However, Klay received some sarcastic criticism after Trayce's big game. Trayce had a triple and a double in Thursday's ball game. Meanwhile, Klay Thompson has surprisingly never posted a triple-double in his NBA career.
Dodgers insider Eric Stephen called him out for that.
Trayce Thompson tonight: triple, double
Klay Thompson, career: zero triple doubles

In all seriousness, Klay Thompson is one of the best three-point shooters of all-time. He recently won Best Comeback Athlete of the Year at the ESPYs following two-injury plagued seasons.
Trayce Thompson will look to keep playing well for the Dodgers, while Klay prepares for the Warriors upcoming 2021-2022 campaign.
