Warriors Beat the Nets 124-120

San Francisco, USA. Klay Thompson inched closer to his splash brother Stephen Curry on the all-time three-pointers made list last night as he scored 24 points on 4 of 9 made three pointers to surpass Jason Terry for 9th place on the all-time three-pointers made list.

Klay was mired in a shooting slump for the bulk of the season, bursting through on Thursday night when he scored 30 points and made 8 threes in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. His quality shooting continued on Saturday night when he helped his team get their first win in the past four games against Brooklyn. 

Thompson’s record-breaking shot came with three minutes left in the game with the Warriors up two on an assist from Brandon Podziemski.

He also grabbed 7 rebounds, dished out 2 assists and swiped three steals in the game. Klay’s teammate who sits atop the all-time three-pointers list, Stephen Curry, led the team with 37 points, making six threes of his own. Cam Thomas had 41 points for the Nets. 

Klay and the Warriors have the chance to get a streak going tonight when they take on fellow Bahamian Deandre Ayton and the slumping Portland Trailblazers tonight in the Pacific Northwest.
