The Dallas Mavericks' decision to sign Klay Thompson to a three-year deal in free agency was one of the biggest moves in franchise history, and Thompson backed up this hype right when he hit the hardwood.

Such is why a noted symbolism exists, poetry even, in Thompson being a Maverick. This choice he made, choosing to sign with Dallas, feels a bit like a low-percentage heave, a hoist with as much risk of missing as it does splashing triumphantly.

One game hardly constitutes a sample size, but Thursday night’s win bodes well for a Mavericks team that reached the NBA finals last season.

Klay Thompson continued his record-breaking start with the Dallas Mavericks, powering the team to a 110-102 victory over the Utah Jazz.

The post appeared immediately after Doncic set up Thompson for a three, the latter's fifth make of the night from deep. Less than two minutes later, Doncic would find the veteran sharpshooter for another three as the Mavs blew the game open en route to a 120-109 win.

Following their victory over the Magic, the Dallas Mavericks are also celebrating a milestone achieved by Klay Thompson. Head coach Jason Kidd shared a message for Thompson after Game 6 in the NBA regular season.
