The Golden State Warriors added yet another victory to the best record in the NBA. They are now 35-6 and they keep blowing teams out on a consistent basis. However, last night, none of that mattered. Klay Thompson captivated the entire country with his 37 point performance in the third quarter.
No other player in the history of the NBA has scored more than Thompson in a quarter. No one! Thompson’s performance last night was surreal and everybody was chiming in on twitter.
Check out the twitter reaction from other NBA players:
