Thompson’s NBA-record 37-point quarter lifts Warriors over Kings

Yep, another Warriors thread. Get used to it, h8rs.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was so angry that his team had nearly blown an 18-point lead by halftime Friday that he said he was done calling plays for the rest of the night....

They came up with two plays in the third quarter: “Get the ball to Klay” and “Klay get the ball” — a strategy that propelled Klay Thompson to put up a 37-point scoring barrage for the ages in the period and led to a 126-101 victory over Sacramento at Oracle Arena.

“I was one of the luckiest NBA players ever to play with Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and David Robinson — some of the greatest players ever. As many spectacular things that Michael did, which he did nightly, I never saw him do that,” Kerr said. “It was reminiscent of Michael, because it was sort of otherworldly. That’s what made Michael special: He would do things that seemed impossible, things that human beings can’t do.”

While setting the NBA’s all-time scoring mark for a single quarter, Thompson went 13-for-13 from the field and 9-of-9 from three-point range. The fans refused to sit as Thompson made the final two three-pointers of his onslaught, and as they both swished, backcourt mate Stephen Curry nearly lost his mind.

1. I'm upset that he broke this guy's record:

2. He Hit The Rim ONCE!

In 13 shots, 7 of them threes. His first shot hicked the back of the rim and still went in. The only other thing the ball hit was the backboard on a couple of drives to the loop where he laid it in.

Man, when i was younger, i would have been hootin' and hollerin' if i made 13 free throws in a row, and nobody is even guarding you then.

Fantastic.
