Klay Thompson reflects on his untouchable 37‑point quarter

Klay Thompson’s legendary 37‑point third quarter against Sacramento remains one of the NBA’s most astonishing feats, and even ten years later the former Warriors star admits its uniqueness. Speaking with Serge Ibaka, Thompson said he doubts anyone will replicate such an explosive stretch, noting how extraordinary it was to hit nine straight threes in nine minutes. He described the moment as a rare blend of rhythm, confidence and fortune, where every shot felt effortless and the game seemed to slow around him.

Despite acknowledging its difficulty, Thompson added that he would enjoy seeing another player surpass his record, a sign of his competitive spirit rather than a desire to guard the achievement. That night he finished with 52 points, shooting 16‑for‑25 overall and 11‑for‑15 from deep, but the quarter itself became the true milestone. Now in Miami after his move from Dallas, Thompson looks back with pride and disbelief at a performance that still shines.
