Klay Thompson has broken teammate Stephen Curry’s NBA record for most three-pointers in a game with his 14th during a brilliant offensive performance by the Golden State Warriors.
Thompson set the mark with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls.
He was mobbed by teammates as the players headed to the sideline for a timeout, with the Warriors leading 113-69.
Curry hit 13 three-pointers against New Orleans on November 11, 2016.
The Warriors scored 92 points in the first half – the most ever by a road team and the second most of all time behind the Phoenix Suns, who had 107 in the first half against the Denver Nuggets back in 1990.
Golden State led 92-50 at the break. The 42-point margin was the fourth-largest half-time lead in history and the largest lead by a road team.
Thompson finished 14 of 24 from beyond the arc. He held up three fingers with each hand after his record-breaking 3-ball dropped through the net with 4:53 remaining in the third quarter.
