Tuesday night brought us another outstanding performance from Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson. The Splash Brother recorded his second 40-point performance of the year against the visiting New York Knicks, finishing with 43 points on 7-of-16 from beyond the arc. A high-scoring game is always nice, but a closer look at his numbers reveals just how productive the eight-year veteran was on Tuesday.
Thompson only needed to dribble the ball four (yes, just FOUR) times the whole game to score his 43 points. On top of that, he never went to the free throw line. The Warriors’ ability to screen off the ball, move, and pass simply let Klay be Klay.
