Mavs Crumble at MSG: Klay Thompson’s Nightmare Performance Sparks Fan Outrage as Playoff Hopes Fade
The Dallas Mavericks suffered a tough 128-113 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, snapping their two-game winning streak. The defeat dropped the Mavs to 35-37 through 72 games, placing them 11th in the Western Conference as they continue to battle for a play-in spot.
Klay Thompson had a night to forget, finishing with just six points, three rebounds, and one assist in 22 minutes. He struggled mightily from the field, shooting 2-of-11 overall and missing all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. His performance, along with poor showings from teammates Jaden Hardy and Maxwell Lewis, led to frustration among Mavericks fans and harsh reactions on social media.
Many voiced their disappointment, with some questioning whether Thompson should remain in the starting lineup or even continue playing at this stage of his career. One user, @A_King_Of_1Self, bluntly stated, “Klay Thompson is washed. Mavericks fans should be disgusted with him,” while @ItsDelly1 suggested, “Klay Thompson should probably be on the bench from here on out.”
This loss serves as a significant setback for Dallas as they fight to stay in the playoff race. With just ten games remaining, the pressure is mounting on Luka Dončić and the Mavericks to turn things around before it’s too late.
