Warriors' Klay Thompson: Delivers solid game with 23 in win

Thompson tallied 23 points (9-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, one rebound, one steal and a blocked shot over 33 minutes in Sunday's 139-115 win against the Wizards.

Analysis:

Thompson has been on a tear of late, posting 20-plus points in 11 of his last 12 games. His numbers over the last five games have been even more impressive, averaging 22.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists during that span. Without Kevin Durant in the lineup, players at other positions have picked up the slack, and Thompson has certainly helped the Warriors win 11 straight despite having one of their top producers absent. Clinching the West title appears inevitable at this point, but Golden State will most likely keep their foot on the gas in the final week. Thompson will be a must-start until season's end.
