Klay Thompson UNREAL 60 Pts in 29 Mins vs Pacers 8 Threes! (12/05/16)

The last look at Oracle for a while, capping off the homestand with Indiana in town. 200 straight sellouts, Dom Nation a huge reason the Warriors have been so good in this building and Indiana is going to deal with that crowd tonight. Draymond going to back down Montee for a second. Clay Thompson, feet set and three down. This is a team that closes out well on threes and then fourth in the league in three point field goal percentage at the defensive end, but playing it all the time in the world there. Clay Thompson, a deep two out of the corner. Clay misses, Pachulia knocks it back. Clay attacking and flipping it up and in. Zaza Pachulia did a great job making sure Clay would have a free run to the rim and that's a pretty pass on the reverse layup. Both Teague and Montez will try to get steals. They will turn their heads. They're always looking to be a ball hawker. Clay Thompson. Clay's feeling it early. You just get that sense. He's five of six. He's got 11. The jump shot looks good and he's cutting and shooting with authority very early in the game. Clay Thompson's getting aggressive. 13 for Clay. Ball towards Missing and Curry with the rebound. And the lead to Clay, a little reverse. He's getting more adept at that. So there's no chance to block a shot coming on the right side. He just goes up and under. The rim protects you. He's got 15. Matty Shum sneaking in and able to finish inside. Clay is rim running every time. He's got 17. They're throwing right over the top of Jeff Teague. He's only 6'2". Clay's got a huge advantage on him. Clay Thompson, beautiful curl and rewarded by David West. Carolina lost the game, as they keep doing, by the way. They're 4-8 now. They got crushed last night. They're going to be in a record-setting situation from winning 17 and then stepping all the way backwards the year after. A.D. finding McCall. Catch and shoot three. David West kept it alive. Clay Thompson, open look. Yes, sir! He's having a night. Raymond just took it from Montee. Clay went to the three-point line and dropped in another one. And the bench is going nuts. 27 for Clay on 12 of 16 shooting. Oh, Clay's feeling it now. That's what Livingston had in mind. 13-0 Warrior run. Well, let's see if they give it to Clay next time down. I just love the teammates. The Warriors have fun. They're enjoying that. Step right down the tunnel. That was a steal. They're just going to attack this time and get to the line. When Clay Thompson had 37 in the quarter against Sacramento, he was so hot in the final nine minutes that the game devolved into getting the ball to Clay. That's all it was. Clay Thompson got the crowd buzzing. But he sets up Steph nicely. And the Oakland three is down. The Flash brothers working together. Well, how do you defend? You've got a guy who's already got 32. He goes to the rack. You've got to give help. And he finds the best three-point shooter in the game. Gray Bob with a steal. Anticipation. Here's Curry in transition. All the blue jerseys around him. And a kick out. Durant did well just to catch it. Better pass inside. And another finish. I'm sorry. I've never seen 23 assists and one turnover. And Gadalov back to Clay. And Clay Thompson, a little clever foul draw. Steve Kerr just said, Finally, they've been asking Clay and Steph to do this. You could say the Warrior record for a half is 45 by Rick Perry. And will. Has 40 in the first half. Wow. Play on the out of balance. And he got 42. They run the play for him. Lay down the lane. Ducks. And Jimmy Butler is the last player to have 40 and a half. He did it against Toronto. Will he step through? No help from Thaddeus Young at all. As I said before, his career is .313% from three-point range. That's the difference between making him a more elite player than he's been. Thompson is grabbed. This would be Clay's second if he makes his free throw. And he does. He's got 50. Will Chamberlain, by the way, 50-point game. Well, wouldn't you average 50.4 one year? I'm just saying, Jimmy. 105. Andre at the controls. Cycler to Clay. Still playing the right way. Hides behind Petunio. Now you see him, now you don't. And he's going to the line to equal his career high. So Clay stays at 51. Tell your story about that in a second. Clay's three. There it is for Clay Thompson. He's got the same career high as Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. They've all got 54 now. And Steph falls into a foul with Jeff Teague. We're going to tell you it's Clay's career night. The 200 straight sellout enjoying the Splash Brother with 54 points in 26 minutes. Performance for Clay. You're going to jump at Clay. Draymond's going to get layups. Smart play. All that attention on Clay Thompson. Curry steals the inbound. Warriors are having fun. Clay for three. Now he's got to go for 60. 57. This was 60. Thompson. You want to hear the loudest ovation of the night? It's about to happen. As Ian Clark sets in. For Clay Thompson. Enjoy. 142 to 106. He had 40 in the first half. He had 20 in the third quarter. A 60-point night for Clay Thompson. The Warriors win their 18th game. Clay, 60 points. Oracle Arena chanted your name. What was it like hearing that? Well, it felt great, obviously. Did he cool you off? No, I'm still hot. But it was fun. I was in a great rhythm. Took all good shots for the most part. Still missed a few wide open threes. I wish he got back. But it was a fun night, to say the least. You had 40 points at half. Usually halftime, that's a chance for someone to cool off. How were you able to stay in the zone in the third quarter? What's that, Roz? At halftime, you had 40 points. Usually at halftime, people cool off. How were you able to stay hot in the third quarter? Not getting caught up in having 40. Just trying to play every possession like it matters. And it did. I mean, we're trying to build great habits. Our turnover ratio tonight was phenomenal. We got to keep that up. I'm proud of the way we played. It's going to be a fun road trip coming up. You had 60 in three quarters. What do you think would have happened if you played in the fourth? What's that? You had 60 in three quarters. What do you think would have happened if you had the chance to play in the fourth? Who knows. Hopefully, I don't know. I don't know, Roz. That's a great question. But who knows. All right, thanks. Congrats. Appreciate it.
