Klay Thompson lit up the Chicago Bulls last night for 52 points on 18/29 shooting and 14/24 from deep.

Thompson set a new NBA record for three-pointers made, which surpassed teammate Steph Curry.

What’s even more impressive of Thompson setting the record, is that he needed just 27 minutes of playing time.

Highlights from the historic night here:

Thompson has the third-highest base salary ($18,988,372) on the Warriors behind Steph Curry ($37,457,154) and Kevin Durant ($30,000,000). He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2019, but his father stated that Thompson will most likely remain with the team.
