Oddly enough, this wasn’t the first time we saw Warriors’ part owner Joe Lacob profess his…admiration(?) for one of the NBA’s best scorers.

Klay Thompson just scored 60 points, the Warriors smoked (pun intended) the visiting Pacers by 36 points. Naturally, the youthful Steph Curry took the opportunity to dump a combination of ice and liquid on the sizzling hot Thompson as he was giving CSN Bay Area’s Ros Gold-Onwude a postgame interview.

There are lots of alley oop passes in the NBA and many of them land in nice, highlight-reel worthy plays. Then there was this alley oop.

Derek Carr and Latavius Murray decided to buy the the offensive line courtside tickets to the Warriors game. And they picked a good game, as the crew was there to watch Klay Thompson pour in 40 points in the first half.

Thompson’s 30th point came on one of the most ridiculous heat-check, turnaround three’s you’ll ever see — and he buried it.

For the second week in a row, defensive end Khalil Mack made his case for Defensive Player of the Year, with another strip sack to clinch the game.

According to PFF’s Jeff Deeney, Buckner’s 739 snaps lead all interior linemen in the NFL. That’s extra impressive considering Buckner missed a Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The 49ers front office is trying to make this argument: our players are talented, it’s this particular defense that’s tripping them up.

The 49ers don’t have star players on their defense, and young pieces like Aaron Lynch and DeForest Buckner were unable to use 2016 as a launching pad for their careers.

Giants General Manager Brian Sabean says, “we are kicking the tires” on every possibility. If they go without a big name left fielder, the Giants should have approximately $45M to spend on depth and bullpen.
