The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to an 8-0 start to their postseason run, including a dominant four-game stretch against the defensive-minded Utah Jazz last week. Whether it was Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, or Klay Thompson, the Warriors always had someone hot when it wasn't the others' night.
During Game 3, one in which the Jazz took their first lead of the series, Thompson had his worst shooting night of the entire season, making just one field goal on nine attempts. He finished with just six points, a rebound, a steal, and no assists in a whopping 39 minutes. While the Jazz took Thompson out of the game, they allowed Zaza Pachulia to go off. At least, that's how the veteran Georgian center sees it.
Pachulia scored seven points, one more than Thompson, and celebrated like a champion afterwards, posting a selfie of the two of them and the amount of points they scored.
It didn't end there, however. As the Warriors had their media availability post-practice, Thompson was approached by Pachulia while responding to a question, and was handed a framed copy of the San Francisco Chronicle headline of Game 3 and a copy of the boxscore.

It's all in good fun, as the Warriors are blowing opponents by a double-figure average and are at the halfway point to the NBA Championship.
