Ian Clark returning to the Warriors was an afterthought in Golden State's stunning summer. But Tuesday night, the 25-year-old guard reminded everyone he's a big part of that depleted bench.

None of the Warriors' backups had scored in double digits through the first three games, until Clark checked in during the first quarter at Portland and proceeded to go nuts.

Clark scored a team-high 16 first-half points, rallying the Warriors from a six-point deficit to a four-point lead, then pushing the lead from seven to 10 when he checked back in during the second quarter.

And he looked like Steph Curry taking a shot like this:

Good thing they brought him back. Clark was 3 for 3 on threes in the first half while Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant combined to go 0 for 10.

That last tweet proved to be an accurate prediction, as Curry came out in the third quarter and went 5 for 5 on threes, scoring 23 points and blowing the game open.
