Klay Thompson vs. Pacers: Stats, Highlights and Twitter Reaction

The Indiana Pacers never had a chance Monday.

The Pacers likely would have been thrilled if someone told them they would hold two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry to 13 points, Draymond Green to a mere two points and Kevin Durant to 20 points during their showdown with the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena.

That thrill would have quickly dissipated when that someone told them Klay Thompson exploded for a ridiculous 60 points in a 142-106 victory. His box score is insane before even considering he didn’t play in the fourth quarter because the game was well in hand:

Thompson was unconscious shooting the ball from everywhere and finished 21-of-33 from the field, 8-of-14 from downtown and 10-of-11 from the charity stripe.

According to Warriors PR, Thompson’s career high of 60 points is the most scored by a single player against the Pacers in history (previously George Gervin’s 55 in 1980). Warriors PR also noted Thompson joined Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry and Joe Fulks as the only Golden State players to reach the 60-point plateau in a single game.

He joined some impressive company, per Warriors PR:
