It’s safe to say Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson is looking forward to seeing the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.
Thompson and the Warriors advanced to the second round by besting the Sacramento Kings in Game 7 on Sunday, 120-100. Stephen Curry dropped a Game 7 record 50 points in the win and the defending champs kept their repeat hopes alive.
Their reward is a date with the Lakers, who are fresh off finishing the Memphis Grizzlies with a 40-point win in Game 6. Thompson grew up in Southern California and his father, Mychal Thompson, played for the Lakers during his lengthy NBA career, winning a pair of titles.
“Warriors-Lakers, it’s been a long time since they’ve seen each other in the playoffs. I know I’m personally excited. I get to play in front of my father and my mother and some of my best friends and go down to SoCal after our home stand,” Thompson told reporters on Sunday.
