 | NBA has a new King of the Trojans, Thompson Knocks 14!30-04-2019 |
The Golden State champions have amazing archers and this is no secret to anyone, but at times their performance seems simply unreal. That was the same as last night`s visit to Chicago, where the Warriors scored nearly 150 points and won their seventh win for the season after 149:124, and the fans at the United Center stands had the chance to enjoy a historic night where the main role wasClay Thompson. Steph Curry`s partner in Warriors` line-up was not in the best shape since the start of the new season and had barely 13. 9% success in his three-point attempt. Thompson, however, did not just come out of the bad series, but did it in a phenomenal way, setting a new record on three-legged matches in a match and shifting from the top in that ranking exactly Curry.
Clay struck 14 threes from 24 attempts, and his performance was unreal - 58. 3%! He finished with a total of 52 points for just 27 minutes, after adding 4/5 for 2 points as well as 2/2 of the penalty line for his record shoot-outs. His stats were complemented by 5 rebounds, 1 ball and 2 mistakes.
The record-holder has scored three more trophies from the entire Chicago team, and has also recorded a higher percentage of all Bulls basketball players - 14/24 (58. 3%) against 11/35 (31. 4%). Steph Curry added 23 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists to the winners, while Kevin Durant stayed with 14 points and 8 assists. Zack LaVinne and Antonio Blakney scored 21 for Bulls.
The statisticians calculated that for all of his stay on the pitch, Thompson had dribbled the ball 56 times and it was in his hands only 96 seconds! In addition to the top 14 troika, Clay scored the highest score for the most scored firings from the distance in the first half (10) and equalized the highest number of three-time triads in a half time (Chandler Parsons in 2014).
The 28-year-old guy sets his new record next to the highest number of trikes in play-offs (98 as well as Curry), the highest number of trikes in a playoff game (11), andthe most points scored in a quarter (37).
