Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(OAKLAND, Calif.) — It was a night that Klay Thompson won’t soon forget as he set an NBA record Friday night, scoring 37 points in the third quarter of the team’s win over the Sacramento Kings.
Thompson broke the record shared by Carmelo Anthony and George Gervin as made all 13 shots he took in the quarter, including nine from the 3-point line. He wound up finishing the game with 52 points.
“It was kind of a blur. I wish I could go back and enjoy it some more, but moments like that go by really fast,” Thompson said.
During the quarter, Thompson’s teammates kept feeding him the ball, even passing up their own open looks just to see if Thompson could keep his historic streak going.
“They just kept wanting to see the show,” Thompson said. “That’s what they kept telling me.”
With the win, the Warriors improved to 35-6, the best record in the NBA.
