Klay Thompson, who scored a game-high 38 points against the Suns, expressed optimism about the Warriors' upcoming five-game road trip, saying that they will come out of it with a lot of momentum and an ability to win games.

Thompson's performance against the Suns was remarkable, with 33 points and all eight of his three-pointers coming in the first half alone. He played a supporting role offensively in the second half, taking just five shots and making the right play.

The Warriors will need to improve their road record if they want to make a deep playoff run this season.

Thompson's performance against the Suns is a reminder of his importance to the Warriors' success, and his return from injury has been a major boost for the team.

The Warriors will need strong performances from all of their key players, including Thompson, Curry, and Draymond Green, if they want to compete for a championship this season.

The NBA playoffs are just around the corner, and the Warriors will need to step up their game if they want to have a chance at winning another championship.
