The Mavs and Warriors hit a record 48 threes in the match.

On his 2nd trip, Mavs guard Klay Thompson made the most out of his visit to his former club, as he spent time in his old East Bay neighborhood, had dinner at a friend’s house, and drove by ex-haunts and, most importantly, Oracle Arena.

“It was something special,” Klay revealed of returning to play against his ex-team, the Warriors, for a 2nd time. “Because I was 21 years old when I became part of that community, and to see The City and The Town is always enjoyable. I have a lot of happy memories here.”

Klay shined as Mavs defeated Warriors 143-133 as the guard netted 29 points, scoring 7-of-11 from deep as part of a 3-point extravaganza that finished with both teams combining to make 48 3s, the most in a match in the league history.

“We allowed 46 points in the 1st quarter, and we were competing upstream the rest of the match,” Golden State manager Steve Kerr shared. “I can’t recall ever seeing a box score like this.”

Golden State had no answer for Dallas superstar Luka Doncic, who had 45 points, 13 assists, 11 boards, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
