Thompson Scores 60 As Warriors Route Pacers 106-142

The Warriors won in IN 120-83 on the second night of a back-to-back for the Pacers on November 21 when they were missing Paul George, Myles Turner and C.J. Miles. Stats & Info has all the information you need before the game which airs on ESPN at 10:30 ET/7:30 PT.

For the Clippers, it’s about ending a six-game losing streak against the Warriors. The numbers bear out Kevin Durant’s post-game claim that Klay was closer to 80 points in the same 29-minute playing stretch, than you may think.

Denver’s Danilo Gallinari scored 24 points and Will Barton had 22, including a big 3-pointer late, to lead the Nuggets to a 106-98 win at Philadelphia. During the Warriors championship season of 2014-2015, Klay had a National Basketball Association record 37 point third quarter against the Sacramento Kings.

The Golden State Warriors have done it again.

Meanwhile, the Clippers (16-6), who got off to one of the league’s best starts, have struggled lately. Incidentally, when “Catch-and-Shoot King” Klay Thompson dropped 60 points, their victim was once the home of another catch-and-shoot king back in the 90s, Reggie Miller, also one of the best pure shooters the league has ever known. In Blake Griffin’s last three games against the Warriors (he missed the Clippers’ last two), he’s averaged 30.0 points per game on 56.1 percent shooting.

This is the first of four meetings between the Pacific Division rivals this season.

In one sensational third-quarter play worthy of the highlight reel, Thompson had no part: Off a jump ball, Draymond Green hit Curry with a long heave and Curry made a leaping, one-touch pass to Durant for the dazzling alley-oop.

After topping the league in nearly every offensive category last season, the Warriors have improved across the board this season.

Most of the time, National Basketball Association players will approach a game, no matter the level of their opponent, and say “it’s just another game”, as if it’s no different and a standard day at the office.

Memphis’ Marc Gasol had 28 points, including a tying 3-pointer with 7 seconds left in regulation, to go with 11 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the Grizzlies over New Orleans 110-108 in double overtime.

In his last six games against the Pacers, Thompson has scored at least 39 points four times, averaging 36.8 points on 53.9% shooting overall and 50% on 3s. They ranked sixth in points scored per game at (108.7).

The Pacers shot 41 percent on 35 of 85 shooting and outrebounded 54-40.

In order to salvage some dignity, the Pacers put Paul George on Thompson, but to little avail.

Wasn’t actively bad, scored 4 points. He went 8-of-14 from behind the arc on the night.

By contrast, Jordan had 15 triple-doubles for the entire 1988-89 season.

No points, and like most of the bench Aaron Brooks did enough to not surrender too many points to the Warriors.
