Notably, he achieved an impressive 8-of-11 from the field and 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. His scoring spree contributed significantly to the Warriors' 65-50 lead at the break. Thompson's performance was highlighted by his ability to hit back-to-back 3s in rapid succession, further extending his tally to 27 points on 7-for-10 shooting from deep.

Warriors up 19-6 in Houston early. Klay Thompson typically shoots it well in this building: 11 points on 4/6 FG the first six minutes. Two of his 3s have led to Ime Udoka timeouts. A lot of Dillon Brooks for the Rockets so far: 1/5 FG.
