Klay Thompson: The Night He Went Nuclear on the Spurs
Remember the name, Klay Thompson. It's a name that will forever be etched into NBA history. Back in October 2018, Klay Thompson did something truly insane. In a game against the San Antonio Spurs, he lit up the scoreboard like a Christmas tree. I mean, dude went ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR.
He broke Kobe Bryant's single-game record for most three-pointers in a game, dropping 14 bombs from beyond the arc. That's right, 14! But that wasn't even the craziest part. Klay finished the game with a whopping **30 points in the third quarter ALONE.
What Happened That Night?
That night against the Spurs, Thompson was on fire. He was hitting shots from all over the court, from the logo, from half-court, even when he was wide open (which, honestly, wasn't that often). The man was possessed!
The Spurs, known for their tough defense, were completely helpless. They tried everything - double teams, switching defenders, throwing the kitchen sink at him - but nothing could stop Klay.
The Stats Speak for Themselves
Thompson's 30-point third quarter is still a record for the Golden State Warriors. He ended the game with a total of 52 points, making him the first player in NBA history to hit 14 threes in a single game.
It was an unbelievable display of shooting prowess, and it's a game that every basketball fan should remember.
That night, Klay Thompson proved why he's considered one of the greatest shooters of all time. He turned a regular season game into a legendary performance that will forever be talked about.
So, yeah, Klay Thompson is a pretty good shooter. Just sayin'.
