Klay Thompson had made 5 three point shots out of 36 tries--in the previous 8 games this season. In Chicago he made 6 three pointers-- in the first quarter. And by the third quarter he set a new NBA all time record for made threes: 14. The record-holder had been (of course) Steph Curry.
I saw a YouTube full game video with the Chicago announcers who never had a clue that Klay had broken this record. They made up something for why Steph raised his hands in celebration and the bench went wild.
But the above video of Klay's points (including the 14 threes) has the Warriors announcers and they were on it. There's no streak shooter like Klay, and though the Bulls' defense was terrible, defenses don't much matter when Klay gets hot. Another one for the ages.
Not to be overlooked, but all the Warriors were setting up Klay's shot, and Steph Curry sacrificed continuing his record-setting pace in points and three point shots to help Klay go for the record that erases Curry's record. It's also worth mentioning that Curry had 11 threes in three quarters the other night, and could have broken his own record if he'd played the fourth quarter, chalking up 15 or more threes.
Then again, Klay didn't play the fourth quarter on Monday either.
