Klay Thompson scored 29 points and hit seven 3-pointers in the Warriors’ 133-110 wire-to-wire victory over the Rockets in Houston on Thursday.
The Warriors swept the regular season series against the Rockets (3-0) and moved four games ahead for 10th place in the Western Conference with six games remaining. Their six-game winning streak is the league’s longest active streak and the Dubs’ longest of the season.
THOMPSON TIME IN H-TOWN
Klay Thompson, who recently moved into 6th place on the NBA’s all-time made 3-pointers list, had three first-quarter splashes, scoring 11 points as the Warriors opened the game on a 19-6 run. Although he led the charge, Thompson wasn’t the only Warrior with an early hot hand, as the team shot 11-for-17 (64.7 FG%) from the field and hit eight 3-pointers in the opening quarter.
Thompson remained on fire in the second quarter, scoring seven quick points in the first three minutes. After a fadeaway jumper in front of the Rockets’ bench, the Splash Brother stared down the sideline before trotting back on defense. Thompson hit five 3-pointers in both of the Dubs’ previous meetings against the Rockets this season — he had five made threes (21 points) in the first half of Thursday’s contest.
