Klay Thompson blasts Rockets player for ‘trolling’ Warriors with post, shirt

During his postgame press conference, Thompson was asked about Eason trying to goad Golden State on social media and during the game. The Warriors star called out Eason for not even being able to back up his smack talk on the court.

“That’s pretty lame,” Thompson said. “Especially if you’re not even playing. Like it’s one thing if you’re playing, you’re out there competing and you can back it up. But you’re just gonna be trolling from the sideline. Like bro, what are we doing?”

Eason has been ruled out for the season due to a serious heel injury. The second-year Rockets forward has yet to play since January 1.

Thompson tied Steph Curry with a game-high 29 points in the contest — his highest scoring mark in nearly two months.

Thursday’s result all but eliminates Houston from postseason contention after threatening to overtake Golden State over the last few weeks.

The Warriors hold the tie-breaker and a multi-game lead over the Rockets for the 10th seed in the West.
