After Klay Thompson Admits Longing for 3PT Records, Stephen Curry Unravels Their Competitive Friction During Warriors Practices

Despite the injury to Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors have still managed to hold their own. In the absence of their leading scorer, the Warriors managed to jump from the 10th seed to the 5th seed in the Western Conference. Not only that, but they are on a four-game winning streak after their latest victory over Los Angeles Clippers. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole have carried the offensive load during this stretch. In the process, Thompson wrote his name in the record books after some scintillating performances. Recently, Curry spoke up about his competitive relationship with Thompson.

Klay Thompson had a night for the record books against the Houston Rockets on February 24. He became the player with the most games with 12 three-pointers or more in the history of the league. In the post-game interview, he admitted that he wanted more three-point records for himself.

?Seeing who?s working the hardest, who?s shooting the best, who?s pushing the envelope, every day, every practice, every game, and all that. And I have so much respect for him as a shooter and what he?s done in his career,? added Curry.
