Originally posted on Fastbreak on SI | By Ben Stinar | Last updated Mar 11, 2025 1:54 AM ET

On Monday evening, Klay Thompson led the Dallas Mavericks to a 133-129 victory over the Spurs in San Antonio.

Thompson finished with 26 points, two rebounds and three assists while shooting 8/14 from the field and 3/8 from the three-point range in 36 minutes of playing time.

After the game, Thompson made a bold statement when he met with the media (h/t Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints).

Thompson: "We still have big goals; we still want to make a run. Injuries have been awful, but I still love our team... I still believe in this franchise. I'm here for two more years after this."

Thompson is averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest while shooting 41.6% from the field and 39.9% from the three-point range in his first 58 games with Dallas.

Prior to the Mavs, he had spent the first 13 years of his career with the Golden State Warriors.
