Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Scores 14 points Saturday

Thompson notched 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and a rebound across 21 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 preseason loss to the Hornets.

Thompson was sharp from beyond the arc and drained four triples in this preseason showing. The Mavericks don't need Thompson to be much of a playmaker with D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg on the court, but he remains a vital piece of the offense due to his outside shooting.
