Klay Thompson was on one tonight. Even Stephen Curry was hyped on the sidelines as he watched his Slpash Brother light up the Rockets. Klay ended up with a mind-blowing 12 3-pointers on the evening, en route to setting a new NBA record with the most games with 12 or more triples. The man he passed for the record is none other than the greatest shooter of all time:

Thompson is now the only player that has made at least 12 triples in a game three times. Steph did it “just” twice in his career, and Klay is now the new record-holder. He did it in majestic fashion too, with Curry watching him from the bench.

Klay Thompson finished the game with 42 points on 12-of-17 from distance. He also added seven rebounds and an assist in 36 minutes of action. Thanks to his heroics, the Warriors were able to secure a win against Houston, 116-101. Klay will want to keep his foot on the gas when the Dubs return to action on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
