Klay Thompson Torches the Nets for 60 Points in Only 29 Minutes

Fittingly, Thompson embarrassed his predecessor, former Warrior Monta Ellis, the most during his onslaught. “We should keep the game closer next time”.

INJURY ISSUES: Two of the NBA’s best teams lost guards to knee injuries Monday.

In New Orleans, Marc Gasol had 28 points to go with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and Memphis outlasted the hosts in double overtime.

Celtics: James Young missed the game with an illness.

While Harden waited for someone to foul him, he swung his elbow and took out Marcus Smart. The Pacers managed to make a comeback in the second quarter after being down by 11 points in the first. He finished with 27 second-half points to send the Hawks to their seventh straight loss and 10th defeat in the last 11 games. Horford and Thomas led the way for Boston with 21 and 20 respectively. “It’s absolutely tough to get a win in here; and, for us to be able to do that twice already, it’s big for our team”.

Thompson scored 40 of his 60 points in the first half and it was the most points ever by a Pacers’ opposing player.

Just as impressive as Thompson’s barrage was the way the Warriors ran the Pacers off the floor.

The Indiana Pacers head into the Bay Area to challenge the Golden State Warriors. Instead, it is Indiana Pacers star Paul George. Thompson aggressively attacked the basket and forced himself to the line. Jamal Murray added 22 points for the Nuggets.

In other scores – Denver topped Philly.

The performance ranks among the best scoring performances of all-time.

Westbrook scored 32 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 12 assists, giving him the NBA’s longest streak of triple-doubles since Michael Jordan had seven in a row in 1989. While the Warriors are playing perfectly well in their past games, some of its players are apparently not happy with their strategy. They’ve never had a player score 60 and had never previously allowed 60. Thompson made 21 of 33 shots from the field, including 8 of 14 three-pointers. “It was insane because he probably has the ball in his hand for probably not even two minutes in the whole game”.

San Antonio rallied from 15 points to slip past Milwaukee.

Paul George led IN with 21 points and 10 rebounds while Jeff Teague added 16 points and six assists.

Marc Gasol was the story for the Grizzlies. He sat down for good with a minute and change left in the third quarter, and if you extrapolate his per-minute averages over, say, 10 more minutes, he was on pace to push Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game.

That’s just an absurd, unbelievable play. Kemba Walker led the way with 19 for Charlotte. He didn’t let up in the second quarter, scoring 23 to end up with 40 first half points, pushing Golden State up, 80-50, at the break.
