Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson made history on Monday night as he tied the NBA record for most consecutive three-pointers made to start a game, according to Elias Sports Bureau (h/t ESPN's Nick Friedell) matching the mark reached by Ty Lawson on April 9, 2011.
"It just happened to be one of those nights," Thompson said after the 130-111 victory. "It was the best percentage I ever shot. But it just happened to be one of those nights, man. It's hard to explain."
Thompson finished with a game-high 44 points while playing just 27 minutes, making 10 of his 11 attempts from distance.
