June 7 (Reuters) - Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson said his poor shooting performance through the first two games of the NBA Finals will not deter him from being aggressive moving forward.
The five-time All-Star is one of the best snipers in league history but has not looked like it so far against the Celtics, going 10-for-33 from the floor and making just 26% of his three-point shots.
"I've been through shooting slumps before and it's all about how you respond," Thompson told reporters in Boston on Tuesday.
"So come Game Three, I won't do much differently. I'll play with great pace and hunt great shots because when I do that, I tend to have a big night," he said.
"I'd rather go down swinging than be gun shy."
He added that he would prefer to have an off shooting night like he did in Game Two and emerge victorious than the other way around. The best-of-seven series is tied at one game apiece following the Warriors 19-point victory on Sunday.
