Klay Thompson breaks NBA three-pointer record

Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson broke the record for the amount of three-pointers in a single game.

The 28-year-old achieved the feat during a 149-124 victory over Chicago Bulls. He scored 14 three-pointers in a 52-point performance.

Thompson surpassed the record previously set by teammate Steph Curry. The 30-year-old managed 13 in November 2016 against New Orleans Pelicans.

Thompson said: "I was so anxious because any time there's an NBA record at stake, you get a little nervous.

"I'm just so blessed to play with the guys that I do. It was an amazing night I'll hopefully never forget."
