Good lord, Steph and Klay
The Splash Brothers couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat on Thursday night.
Along with the aforementioned 15-for-49 shooting exhibition they put on at the United Center, the league’s best backcourt pairing committed six turnovers and missed 22 of their 31 combined shot attempts that were uncontested.
That’s … horrific.
Per https://t.co/tkSQ96gQPh tracking, Steph and Klay were 9/31 on uncontested field goals tonight.

Curry shot 10-for-27 for 23 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals, but committed four of those six combined turnovers by himself. While Curry at least found a way to contribute in other ways (including this stupid shot that defies any kind of logic), Thompson was atrocious all night long.
Not only did Thompson just have one rebound and assist each, he missed 10 of his 11 3-point attempts on the night and 17 of his 22 shot attempts overall.
To be fair, a lot — and I mean a lot — of their shots rimmed in and out on Thursday, but that’s the nature of the business sometimes. It’s not going to be your night on some nights and it most certainly wasn’t Curry or Thompson’s night against the vaunted #TNTBulls.
