Klay reconsiders 'dirty' Mozgov screen, calls it 'bad luck'

Having seen the replay a day after, Klay Thompson walked back some of his postgame comments following a 30-point drubbing in Game 3.

Thompson was forced to the locker room after getting clipped by a screen set by Timofey Mozgov on Wednesday. Thompson would shake off the injury and return to the game, but afterward he called the infraction "a little dirty."

The Splash Brother changed his tune after taking more time to reflect.

"As I watched the replay, it might have just been bad luck too. A knee to the thigh never feels good," Thompson told reporters Thursday.

Here's the play in question:

Thompson did, however, question Mozgov's screen-setting technique.

"I mean, I don't think he meant to do it maliciously, but usually when someone sets a screen, you usually do it with your chest or something," Thompson said.

Given the Warriors' propensity to use questionable screens to free up their own shooters, Thompson may want to avoid turning the officials' focus in that direction.
