Klay calls out brother Trayce's ‘unbelievable' home run after Game 2

Share

Klay Thompson's Warriors had just staged a wild comeback in Game 2 of their playoff series with the Trail Blazers, outscoring Portland 34-12 in the fourth quarter to steal a 110-99 victory and a 2-0 series lead.

But Thompson's attention was drawn elsewhere.

"Anybody see Trayce Thompson's home run tonight? Man, he hit that thing like 550 feet," Klay said during his postgame press conference after leading all scorers with 27 points. "Unbelievable."

Trayce's home run was impressive. The moonshot hit a Tropicana Field catwalk, helping fuel the Dodgers to a 10-5 win over the Rays and making a bit of history.

The ball never came down, the Rays confirmed, and it is only the sixth fair ball to be lodged in a Trop catwalk.

Trayce, 25, is hitting .278 with two home runs in 23 games for the Dodgers this year.

Klay, a back-to-back All-Star and this year's 3-point shootout winner, averaged career-highs this season in points (22.1), rebounds (3.8), field-goal percentage (.569), and made 3-pointers per game (3.5).
