Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters in the game, but he hasn't shown it during the 2017 playoffs. He's shooting more than 10 percentage points below his regular season average, and yet it hasn't mattered one bit as far as wins and losses are concerned.

Golden State improved to 13-0 in the postseason after recording a 22-point Game 1 win over the Cavaliers to open the NBA Finals, and that happened despite Thompson finishing with just six points on 3-of-16 shooting. He helps in other ways, of course — most noticeably on the defensive end of the floor, where Thompson locked up any Cavaliers player he found himself matched up against.

But the fact that he continues to shoot even when he's struggling is also an enormous help to his team's offense, as Kevin Durant explained during his media availability on Saturday.
