Klay Thompson thrilled fans by making NBA history without Stephen Curry. During the Dallas Mavericks’ October 28 game against the Utah Jazz, Thompson hit 15 three-pointers, setting a new franchise record and breaking the previous mark of 14.
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors set the previous record in 2018 with 14 three-pointers in a 149-124 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Surprisingly, Thompson broke that record in only his second regular season game with his new team.
Thompson finished the game with 18 points, four rebounds, and two assists, shooting 7-for-15 from the field and 4-for-11 from beyond the arc. His impressive performance helped the Mavericks secure a 110-102 victory over the Jazz, improving their record to 2-1 for the season.
When Klay Thompson joined the Mavericks, fans worried about his game without Curry. But his most recent performance put all questions to rest. With Luka Doncic hitting 28 points and Kyrie Irving and Thompson adding more to the boards, the star trio looked unbeatable.
