two and a half years.
Yes, for two and a half years Golden State fans, friends and fans have been waiting for Clay Thompson's return to the floor and tonight (Tuesday to Wednesday), they finally got a show from him that reminded him of his big days.
The veteran guard who returned about two weeks ago to the Warriors squad and in his first games looked hesitant and lackluster, sniped 21 points in 22 minutes tonight and stood out in his team's 86: 102 win over Detroit, a victory that came in time after the team recorded five losses in its last seven games.
"I really enjoyed tonight," said the game star, "I wish I had a few more shots, but I just enjoyed it, it was fun. The surgeries, the absences, the injuries, I do not care if I also miss 100 shots in a row, I will never stop throwing to the basket. I love That's too much, and I'm working too hard to quit. "
Coach Steve Kerr was also delighted with the performance, adding: "It was great. It was probably his best piece in some games he's played so far. It was good to see him warm up and hear the crowd behind him."

What also caused a great deal of excitement in California was the minutes in which Thompson collaborated with his good friend - Steph Kerry who added 18 points and 8 assists after returning from missing several games due to a wrist problem.
"When the Splash Brothers heat up, damn it, it's almost impossible to stop it," said Andrew Wiggins, their friend.
The next opportunity to see the two collaborate will be on the night between Thursday and Friday when Golden State will host Indiana (5 p.m. Israel time).
