You're a wizard, Klay Thompson!

The Golden State Warriors superstar certainly showed that to everyone after he banked an impossible fadeaway shot from the corner while being tightly guarded by Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Thompson received the ball at the right wing. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the chance to pull up for a quick triple with Rivers getting on his face as fast as he could. As the other half of the Splash Bros. tried to create some separation from Rivers, he did a crossover, got the space he wanted with a spin move, and then launched the fadeaway shot from distance.

It was a near impossible shot since Thompson didn't have a good look at the rim before shooting the ball. In a rather surprising (and maybe lucky) turn of events, the ball hit the glass perfectly the redirected its trajectory into the glass–as if it was what Thompson wanted all along!
