On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors welcomed the Miami Heat to the Chase Center as they continued their six-game homestand.
The Warriors extended their winning streak to six games, beating the Heat 120-100 after an offensive onslaught in the third quarter.
The game also featured the reunion of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, more famously known as The Splash Brothers.

In an Instagram post after the game, the Golden State Warriors shared a three-word message featuring Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
The Warriors included a photo of the former teammates dapping each other up after the Warriors’ win. They also included a reel of the interaction between one of the greatest duos in NBA history.
“Bonds beyond basketball,” the Warriors wrote.
Curry and Thompson were teammates for 13 seasons, forming a “Big 3” with Draymond Green to create the Warriors dynasty. They won four NBA championships together in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. They also made the NBA Finals in 2016 and 2019, marking their dominance for nearly a decade.
Thompson left the Warriors in the summer of 2024 and entered free agency. He joined the Dallas Mavericks, spending two seasons there before becoming a free agent again. He signed with the Miami Heat at the age of 36.
