On January 23rd, 2015, Klay Thompson played the game of his life when he and the Warriors faced the Sacramento Kings at home in Oakland. The sharp-shooter couldn't miss a shot if he wanted to, and single-handedly torched the Kings by scoring an astounding 37 points in the third quarter, an NBA record for the most points ever scored in one period. Thompson shot a perfect 13-13 from the field, 9-9 from beyond the arc, and 2-2 from the charity stripe— all in the third quarter alone. He finished the game with a total of 52 points, plus the win for the Warriors.

Obviously, they are still butt-hurt from the experience. It will be okay. Time heals, and they certainly need much more than a year for that scar to fade away.
