SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Will Ferrell screamed and put a hand in Klay Thompson’s face because the Golden State star lofted a baseline 3-pointer.
Good defensive shut out, little doubt.

“I’m underneath contract,” Ferrell advised The Related Press. “So that is the very first tryout with the workforce, let’s see what occurs.”
How enjoyable was that?
“Properly, it’s what I do,” he stated matter-of-factly.
And that candy shot from half courtroom? Zero humility right here.
“I make these in my sleep.”
The Warriors and their crowd liked each minute of Ferrell’s shock look.
“That was superior,” former Warriors large man Zaza Pachulia stated. “We would have liked that power.”
Ferrell chatted up basic supervisor Bob Myers and injured star Draymond Inexperienced at midcourt earlier than making a swift exit by a Chase Middle tunnel.
When Ferrell appeared, he bent down and stretched out briefly earlier than taking a brief baseline jumper.
“Hey!” Curry hollered in delight, “You have to bounce for these!”
