OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Klay Thompson wanted one more quarter. He wanted to score 80, and thinks he absolutely could have.
Hard to argue that one: He went off for 60 points in 29 head-shaking, jaw-dropping, defense-breaking minutes.
''Who knows? I know he would have kept shooting,'' coach Steve Kerr said. ''Klay's never going to stop shooting.''
Thompson had an NBA season-high and career-best performance for the highest-scoring output by a Golden State player in more than 42 years, and the Warriors whipped the Indiana Pacers 142-106 on Monday night. At one point, Pacers coach Nate McMillan looked downright speechless during a quiet timeout on his bench.
Thompson raised his arms to encourage more of those steady ''KLAY! KLAY! KLAY!'' chants then let it fly again and again. He had 60 through three and called it a night, sitting down with 1:22 left in the period as fans jumped to their feet for an extended standing ovation.
''It's just unfortunate two times I got my career high I didn't get to play the fourth quarter,'' Thompson said.
He scored 40 by halftime in just 18-plus minutes. Nearly two years ago, Thompson had a 37-point quarter on the way to 52 points against Sacramento.
Thompson joined Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry and Joe Fulks as the only Warriors to score 60 points. Barry was the last to do so, going off for 64 on March 26, 1974, against Portland.
Now, Thompson hopes he gets a chance to go for more.
''Maybe. I think I could have, maybe one day I'll have the opportunity,'' he said, ''But 60 in 29 minutes is not too bad.''
Thompson shot 21 for 33 and 8 of 14 on 3-pointers - 15 of 22 with five 3s in the first two quarters - and converted 10 of 11 free throws in 29 minutes. When he knocked down a turnaround baseline 3 under pressure midway through the second quarter right in front of a resting Curry on the bench, the shot sent the MVP into a tunnel-dashing frenzy of delight.
''That's a feat that I put money on will probably never be touched ever again in the history of basketball,'' Curry said.
Previously this season the highest scorers were Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook with 51 in an overtime game and Anthony Davis with 50 in regulation for the Pelicans.
''I felt every shot I took was a good shot,'' Thompson said.
Kevin Durant added 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks for Golden State in another display of impressive passing. The Warriors' 15 first-quarter assists matched a franchise record done twice previously and they wound up with 45 total - two off the franchise record they set Nov. 24 against the Lakers.
In one sensational third-quarter play worthy of the highlight reel, Thompson had no part: Off a jump ball, Draymond Green hit Curry with a long heave and Curry made a leaping, one-touch pass to Durant for the dazzling alley-oop. Curry had 13 points and 11 assists.
Thompson scored 17 points in just under 9 minutes to begin the game and Golden State had 15 assists on its initial 17 baskets and led 38-27 after the first.
''A guy like that, the best defense is not to allow him to catch,'' McMillan said.
Paul George had 21 points and 10 rebounds a night after playing nearly 34 minutes and much of that with tissue in his bloody nose.
TIP-INS
Pacers: The Pacers own a 2-7 road record. They have lost eight of 10 on Golden State's home floor.
Warriors: The Warriors notched their second game with 40 or more assists, the first team since Cleveland in 1992-93 with more than one 40-assist game. ... They recognized the AFC-leading Oakland Raiders, with quarterback Derek Carr and others in attendance. ... Golden State is 6-0 against the Eastern Conference.
SELLOUT MILESTONE
The Warriors reached 200 straight sellouts over the regular season and playoffs, to which Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked, ''If I had to do the math, I haven't even been here for half of those.''
It's long been a daunting road venue for opponents.
''You've got to bring your best to play here,'' Pacers coach Nate McMillan said. ''You've got to come here and you've got to hoop. Certainly if you don't, you don't come out of here with a win. Great atmosphere.''
UP NEXT
Pacers: Continue their five-game road trip with the second-to-last game Wednesday at Phoenix, where the Pacers have lost eight of the last 11 meetings.
Warriors: Begin a five-game road trip over seven days at the Clippers on Wednesday night. ''Five in seven, that's rough, that's tough,'' Kerr said. - Sport
You know its Klay on fire when Steph is losing his mind on the bench 😂
Klay's fluidity in movement before his injury was so smooth and efficient. I hope he gets back to this old form of his this coming 2022-2023 NBA season.
54 a week or so ago
“No I’m still hot” Klay can play the game of his life and still have a sense of humor.
Klay: "What did you say?"
Interviewer: "THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
This guy is so fun to watch when he’s on fire. Had to come back and watch this after he got 32 points in Game 4 against LAC
Watching this again after he put away MEM and DAL 🥲
Should’ve let him chase 100 point game 😂😂 god living among us.... mad respect for Klay Thompson
@Great White Cat didn’t ruin shit. Look what happened to derrick rose.
@Great White Cat he’s saying they left derrick rose in for the 4th quarter to score more and he got injured
Had the Pacers stayed in the game he'd have had his 80 easily.
True, but the game was well in-hand by the 4th quarter.
6:37 More than Durant!
6:39 More than Curry!
6:40 What a night at Oracle!
We all know if he played the 4th he would’ve broken Kobes 81 in a game easily
Without a doubt he would’ve dropped 85 at the minimum
Easily? Another 21 points in 4th to tie?? 22 to beat? I doubt it. He could of def got close
@@PacsEuphanasia ahh cmon now, after dropping 37 in 10 minutes the only one stopping him is himself. The only thing klay was seeing was the bottom of the net, keep in mind that 37 was on PERFECT efficiency, he didn’t miss a single shot. There’s no way he doesn’t come into the 4th with that same hot hand dropping buckets left and right. We definitely got robbed of one of the greatest scoring performances of all time.
@@PacsEuphanasia he got 37 in a quarter, and his teammates would have 100% fed him the ball if he was in the game.
Not **easy*, but very possible
Can’t wait for him to come back
I remember when ppl laughed when Mark Jackson said him & Steph was the greatest shooting backcourt ever. Now, those ppl aren’t laughing anymore
we need to respect this god among us. he's the best guard in the NBA .. could've shattered kobes record. . this new white and black mamba klay needs more recognition as the best
Nick you were joking right
canucturbo2224 Kobe doesn’t have the most amount of points in a game record but I think he meant score more to then Kobe’s 81
This comment aged very well
Did that cool u off? Naw I'm still hott!😂
Klay already had 11 dribbles in the first quarter
I counted
When a player hits the fadeaway 3 Klay makes at 2:50 then if you're guarding him you fake an injury and go to the bench so someone else can guard them the rest of the game because you're about "to get this work"!!!!😊
lol did even know where the rim was at
And it was on monte Ellis. How traumatic of an experience this night most of been for him.
@@youtubeshypocrisy Yeah, knowing Monta and Steph could never win together. Klay took Monta's spot.
@@bananaspartan2234 monte Ellis was such a bum
will miss you man!how many are here just to reminisce Klay hoop?
miss this guy
When Curry can't succeed 3point, Thompson succeed 3point. That' why gsw is strong.
Look at klay man, so inspirational😂
Bro 🔥🔥
Sometimes im thinking steve kerr is a villain for not playing him in fourth quarter 🤣
Yep. He always benched steph also in yhe 4 quarter
Wat a performance!!!
Damn bro prayers sent
Klay can score 90 in the game
He should do that on his future
There is no one… NO ONE who has hotter streaks then Klay Thompson
yo imagine Steph getting 62 at a live home game! Oracle would have blown its roof tonight
I love you Klay 😍
I love 💕 You Klay !!!!
I don't care what no one says Klay will go down as one of the greatest all around players and also three pointers ever! he is making his Bahamian NBA Father Mychal Thompson proud!! He is one of the greatest!!
He's in the zone
Really wish they let him played the whole game like seriously missed out on a great moment thought he was gonna go for a 100 like wilt did ..
im happy that klay gets the same amount of attention as steph curry
Of course.. hes also an original warriors player 😀
Covid has pre highlights looking like B.C. Era
Kerr ruined a possible 70-80 point game
What voice was that in beginning of his post game interview?
Mamma call him klay ima call him klay
Klay playing Chino Hill ball. lol
Even though Steph been holding it down for the 21’ season the Warriors ain’t the same without Klay. Damn Klay...get healthy quick!
Muy buen tirador!!!
I wish he could still do that
Klay deserved to play the 4th QTR. He was in reach of Kobe's 81pt game. He had 60pts with over 2min left still in the 3rd QTR. Woulda been a great moment in the NBA.
the great klay interviewed by the wonderful ros gold
Steve Kerr stopped so many of the best scoring performances
He had just missed practice right before too lolol
60 of them things
Really klay Thompson I love curry big cookin pot chef curry
Good job klay
Who is watching this after the Corovirus crisis?
Nobody, now quit it with this stupid trend.
and the funniest thing is kerr bench him before the 3th quarter finish. that's my guys
aLL hE DoEs Is CaTCh AnD ShoOT, this dude is the most underrated and under appreciative player in history
the fact that he does things like that " only catching and shooting" as some people says is unveliebable, imagine if he was the first scoring option.. 😳😳
7:53 That's exactly what my teammates did to me after shooting the highest set of my career in bowling lol
Клэй конечно МОНСТР!!!!
To the people saying that they should've let him play in the 4th quarter: he would have if he was needed, but the game was under control in the 4th quarter, because that could backfire. You don't keep a player in the game for the sole purpose of chasing a record, 60 points in 29 minutes while taking 11 dribbles is impressive enough...to try go beyond would be a temptation of the basketball gods. Player health always comes first, because heaven forbid if he did play in the 4th quarter only to get injured in some way. It's about balancing achieving/breaking a record with responsibility.
Klay's so awkward lol
I saw that logo sail Norse 🔵⚪🔵⚪
I remembered monte Ellis didn’t want curry on the team and he got traded I bet he regret that now
this is statement game from Klay, the slander Monta commented on him and Steph
Klay and steph are in 60 club
What came out of his mouth "Who knows"
What he was thinking "Im dropping 80, tf you think?"
How frustrated when pacer was losing 30 points in the 3rd and the warrior had 114 already.....
Just so you young fans know...
Klay did this with Kevin Durant on the court.
KD's best game is 55. Klay did it in 29 minutes.
Love Kerr but come on man. Just why?
I feel like the way he was shooting 80 easy if he stays in the way they were making sure he got the ball
Steph ram all the way to the back! He knew this game was over! 😂
7:31 lmao
hola
more impressive than Booker's 70
He's capable of 37 in a quarter so maybe he could have had 97?
🥰😇💚🧡💛💙💚
Listens to why KD NEVER SCORED 60……I seen it Klay wide open every shot 😏
Or u can leave curry or durant wild open, still getting slaughtered
P
GF
Olay is the only good white player
Joshman his dad is black so he is black
What about curry?, what about larry bird? What about steve kerr, ? What about currys dad, ? Etc ..
I'm sorry to say it mate but me, buzzard and hoop dominance all think you're full of shit. It's cool tho but I recommend you check out the NBA now. Sabonis, Bogdanovic and Herro are all top quality white players.
Best fishes,
M
Also you not seen Luka or Porzingis. Those two are buckets!
Lol guys he wrote this 3 years ago before all of those players were playing.
