NBA play-in tournament: Thompson’s 23 helps Mavericks eliminate Kings

• Thompson and Mavericks defeat Kings 120-106
• Heat beat Bulls 109-90 to advance in play-in

Klay Thompson scored 16 of his 23 points in Dallas' dominant second quarter to get redemption for his dud in Sacramento a year ago, helping the Mavericks beat the Kings 120-106 on Wednesday night to advance in the play-in tournament.

One year to the day when Thompson missed all 10 shots in his final game for Golden State in a play-in loss in Sacramento, Thompson fueled the win with four three-pointers in Dallas' 44-point second quarter. That turned the game into a laugher and kept the Mavericks' chaotic season alive for at least one more game.
