Let us take a look at three talking points from Warriors' games against the Knicks.

#3 Klay Thompson's slump continues

Things are getting serious now. Klay Thompson's form is definitely starting to bother the Warriors' management as he went for 12 points on 6-18 shooting against the New York Knicks. He was also very dull from the 3-point line and went 0-4 from his favorite spot.

The sharpshooter struggled to get it going at MSG and disappointed the Warriors fans once again with his dismal performance. Thompson is shooting 38.3 percent from the field this season and a shocking 12.9 percent from the 3-point line. He has only knocked down 4 shots after attempting 31 from downtown.

With a tough schedule ahead which includes games against Pelicans, Timberwolves and Bucks, the Warriors would definitely want Klay to get back to his form. For the Warriors team to enjoy continued success, it is imperative that Thompson knocks down 3-pointers with the efficiency that only he can.
