Klay Thompson Sets New Team Three-Pointers Record in His Dallas Debut
Thompson Heats Up from Beyond the Arc
Klay Thompson made a stunning debut for the Dallas Mavericks, setting a new team record for three-pointers made in a single game. The sharpshooting guard drained 12 three-pointers, surpassing the previous record of 11 set by Luka Dončić in 2021.
Historic Performance Leads to Victory
Thompson's record-breaking performance played a crucial role in the Mavericks' 128-117 victory over the Utah Jazz. He finished the game with 32 points, hitting 12 of his 18 three-point attempts and providing a much-needed offensive boost for his new team.
Relentless Shooting Display
Thompson's shooting display was particularly impressive considering he missed his first five shots of the game. However, he remained undeterred, finding his rhythm and connecting on several consecutive three-pointers. His relentless shooting kept the Jazz defense on its toes and opened up scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Positive Impact on Mavs' Offense
Thompson's arrival has already had a positive impact on the Mavericks' offense. His ability to create his own shot and consistently knock down three-pointers adds a new dimension to the team's attack. With Thompson on the court, the Mavericks have a more balanced scoring threat and a greater chance of success.
Thompson's Return to Form
Thompson's record-breaking performance marks a significant milestone in his recovery from a torn ACL. After missing the entire 2019-20 season and much of the 2020-21 season due to the injury, Thompson has gradually regained his all-star form.
