Coming off a 42-point performance with 12 made 3-pointers, Klay Thompson was firing away from beyond the arc again on Sunday evening against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After starting out cold, Thompson fueled a comeback for the Warriors behind an array of long-distance jumpers. Thompson’s highlight of the night came in the fourth quarter with the Warriors still trailing by four points.
With Minnesota’s Austin Rivers playing tight defense, Thompson fired what looked like an improbable turnaround fadeaway jumper from the corner. Despite the shot coming from a tough angle, the ball kissed off the glass and rifled through the net for an improbable bank jumper.
