Dub Nation has seen many sides of guard Klay Thompson — #JackieMoonKlay, #ChinaKlay, #HeadbandKlay — but on May 28, 2016, perhaps the most exciting version of Thompson was born: Game 6 Klay.
The Warriors entered Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder down three games to two in the best-of-seven series. After a record-breaking 73-win season, the Dubs’ hopes of reaching the NBA Finals for the second straight season were on the line.
It was Thompson who answered the call that night. Not only did he drop 41 points on the Thunder in a 108-101 win, Thompson did so in blazing-hot fashion with 11 made three-pointers to set a new NBA record for treys made in a playoff game.
