Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors now has nine straight games with at least 20 points. Per the Warriors PR's Twitter account, this is Thompson's new career-high.

Thompson achieved the feat in their 128-111win over the Atlanta Hawks. He finished the game with 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the field, 3-of-5 from downtown, and 4-of-4 from the free throw line. He also snagged eight rebounds and dished out two assists.

His streak started in the Warriors' 112-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks where he scored 22 points on 9-of-24 shooting. Prior to that, he logged in just 10 points on 5-of-16 shooting in a loss against the Houston Rockets.

This is a welcome trend for the 28-year-old who started off the season slow. In the first seven games, Klay Thompson did not reach the 20-point mark. Though he did well from the field, he couldn't find the mark from downtown: he didn't convert on a single 3-pointer on two of those seven games.

But in classic fashion, in the Warriors' eighth game of the season, Klay Thompson exploded for 52 points with 14 makes from downtown — an NBA record.

It pretty much proved that a scoring outburst is about to take place after Thompson struggles to find his touch. Shooters like him can never stay cold for so long.
