Klay Catches Fire Early With Deep Three

Klay Thompson had one helluva quarter.

More like Splash Only Child, am I right? (Sorry—had to go there.) A Curry-less Klay Thompson is coming out guns blazing against Portland today, and launched an absolutely disgusting three pointer from closer to halfcourt than the three-point line. It was… disgusting.

Thompson dropped an absolutely filthy 18 points in the first quarter. I don't know if y'all remember this far back, but this is coming from a man who was virtually asleep during the playoffs last year. Just take a look at this brief Klay highlight reel from about halfway through the first quarter.

The score is 37-17 at the end of the first twelve minutes. Sure, we're not on Spurs-level 43-20 first quarter, but pretty close. The Spurs and the Warriors simply belong in another league at this point. Good god damn.
