After Klay Thompson Exposes Internal Competition, Stephen Curry Breaks Silence on His Record Breaking Night

Golden State Warriors superstar Klay Thompson was at his absolute best in the win against the Houston Rockets. He erupted for 42 points and made 12 three-pointers during the game. In fact, he came close to breaking his own record of most threes in a single game of 14. However, he created another record instead.

Incredibly, all 12 of Thompson’s made field goals were from beyond the arc. It was the most by an NBA player who did not make a two-pointer in the game. Meanwhile, after making the record, Klay admitted his internal competition with teammate Stephen Curry. The two-time NBA MVP then took to social media to share his message his fellow Splash brother’s actions.

Curry is arguably the best shooter ever, who played a major hand in the way the game is played today. The nine-time All-Star also has multiple three-point records to his name.

Stephen Curry addresses Klay Thompson’s recent exploits

After the game, Klay Thompson talked about his internal competition with fellow ‘Splash bro’ Stephen Curry. Thompson said that he really wanted to make the 12th three-pointer and set a record because Curry has multiple three-point records to his name.

Notably, Steph is the All-Time leader of three-pointers made with 3302 and counting. Thompson is currently 12th on the list with 2122 and is likely to break into the top 10 before the end of his career. After Klay’s comments, Curry gave major props to him via Instagram.

The nine-time NBA All-Star shared pictures of his teammate from the game with the caption, “Dat boy good! Leader of the 12+ club?@klaythompson“. In the absence of Curry, Thompson stepped up big time and delivered for the Warriors. Also, after his injury woes, this was the first time Thompson had played in a back-to-back game. Furthermore, this was also the most points scored by him without Steph and Draymond Green in the lineup.

Curry’s injury?

Stephen Curry has been out since Feb. 4 with partial tears in two lower-leg ligaments. This was a huge blow for the Golden State Warriors and fans were worried about the season. The sharpshooter was initially expected to be back for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers after the All-Star break.

However, it was then clarified that Curry was only expected to start on-court work after the All-Star weekend. As expected, he has since then returned to the hardwood. However, his return to the league is still uncertain.
