Klay Thompson scored 16 of his 23 points in Dallas’ dominant second quarter to get redemption for his dud here a year ago, helping the Mavericks beat the Sacramento Kings 120-106 on Wednesday night to advance in the play-in tournament. One 12 months to the day when Thompson missed all 10 pictures in his closing sport for the Golden State Warriors in a play-in loss at Sacramento, Thompson fueled Wednesday’s win with 4 3-pointers in Dallas’ 44-point second quarter. That turned the sport right into a laugher and saved the Mavericks’ chaotic season alive for at the very least yet one more sport. Dallas superior to play on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night time for the prospect to get into the playoffs because the eighth seed within the Western Convention. The winner of that sport will open the playoffs on Sunday on the top-seeded Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder.
