The Klay Thompson 3 is Golden State's best hope right now

With their backs against the wall in a must-win NBA Finals Game 5 in Toronto, the Golden State Warriors leaned on an old friend to extend the series: historically great 3-point shooting.

The Dubs are the defining team of our time in part because they've turned the basketball court inside-out, winning games from the perimeter as opposed to the interior. Check out these bonkers numbers from Monday's win:

  • Golden State made 20 3s while shooting 47% from beyond the arc.

  • The Warriors made just 18 2s while shooting 45% inside the arc.
