LOS ANGELES -- Klay Thompson exploded for a career-high 60 points in a phenomenal individual display as Golden State steamrolled the Indiana Pacers 142-106 on Monday.
Thompson tormented Indiana with a mesmerizing performance which saw him rack up 40 points in the first two quarters alone.
A further 20 points in the third quarter gave Thompson the highest individual game tally of his career and the highest of any player in the NBA this season as the Warriors improved to 18-3.
Thompson sat out the entire fourth quarter so was denied the opportunity to improve his tally, which included eight three-pointers.
Kevin Durant added 20 points for the Dubs with Stephen Curry chipping in with 13, but the night belonged to Thompson, who had the Oakland crowd on its feet as baskets rained down from all angles.
"It was fun, I was in a great rhythm, took all good shots for the most part. Still missed a few wide open threes I wish I'd got, but it was a fun night, to say the least," Thompson said on court afterwards.
Thompson declined to speculate on what his point tally might have been had Steve Kerr not elected to sit him in the fourth quarter.
"Good question," a smiling Thompson said. "Who knows?"
Paul George led the scoring for the Pacers with 21 points as Indiana fell to 10-11 for the season.
