Thompson did seem to use Barkley’s comments as fuel on Thursday night, dropping a season-high 19 points and five three-pointers in Golden State’s 123–110 win over the Heat. Thompson seems more determined than ever to prove his doubters wrong, so time will tell if he can return back to form in the coming weeks. Thompson took offense to those remarks, explaining in an emotional press conference Thursday that he was “hurt” by Barkley’s criticism after all that he had to do to get back on the court.
