Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson stirred fans online after sharing an Instagram post following the team's 118-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in Texas.
"No place like home," Thompson wrote along with photos from the game.
The post drew mixed reactions from fans, with many celebrating his joy and performance.
"Happy Klay is the best Klay ," one fan wrote.
"The KTX have been amazing on court," another commented.
"Last night game brought back memories. He did that ," a fan claimed.
"It's so good to see you happy, champ," one wrote.
Others, however, focused on the sentiment of his caption.
"Not home but ok as long as you're happy," one said.
"My heart hurts reading that caption ," another added.
"Your not home Klay, Bay Area 4L," a commenter argued.
Thompson, who contributed 13 points, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes, played a pivotal role in the Mavericks' success.
Thompson's sharpshooting was critical in the game's momentum shift. Known for his historic achievements, he recently surpassed Reggie Miller for fifth place on the NBA's all-time three-pointers made list.
Despite missing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks snapped their five-game losing streak and improved their record to 21-16, per ESPN.
The team's ability to capitalize on Klay Thompson's presence and the Lakers' defensive lapses proved instrumental in securing the win.
