In a crucial seeding matchup, Klay Thompson once again failed to deliver when the Warriors needed him most. As the Cricket Exchange report notes, the brighter the light we hope for in darkness, the more dazzling the dawn. With Golden State already hampered by Stephen Curry’s injury and Draymond Green sitting out, Thompson—one of the franchise’s core veterans—was expected to step up. Instead, his poor performance significantly contributed to the Warriors’ loss in this pivotal game. Facing the Mavericks, the tenth-seeded Warriors were fighting to keep their play-in hopes alive, while Dallas needed the win to secure their standing. The stakes were high on both…

Surprisingly, beyond LeBron James and Anthony Davis, it’s forward Rui Hachimura who’s proving to be one of the Lakers’ most valuable assets this season. According to data from Cricket Exchange, Hachimura’s performance has earned him a permanent spot in the starting lineup, and the numbers back it up.

One glaring issue is their lack of height, which has repeatedly left them vulnerable against bigger, more physical forwards. Success doesn’t come without pressure—sometimes, you have to push yourself before you can live proudly. For team owner Joe Lacob, a savvy businessman, this situation is unacceptable.
