Reporting for NBA Countdown on the tournament-style 2025 All-Star Game – plus Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu working to add two friends to the NBA-WNBA 3-point challenge:

Tuesday night was supposed to be all about Klay Thompson, who was returning to face the Warriors for the first time since signing with the Mavericks this past summer. Thompson got his tribute -- a rousing one at that -- and his standing ovation and he even went out and drained six 3-pointers on his way to 22 points.

Stephen Curry drove past Luka Doncic for a go-ahead layup with 1:50 left before Donic missed a 13-footer in the key and Curry connected for a 3-pointer moments later, scoring 37 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 120-117.
