OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson erupted for a career-high 60 points in a 142-106 win over the Indiana Pacers?on Monday night.?The Warriors were up 114-79 with 1:22 left in the third quarter when Thompson departed. His stat line was 21-for-33 from the field, 8-for-14 from 3-point range and 10-for-11 from the free throw line in 29 minutes.Indiana as a team converted only 26 field goals at the end of three quarters at Oracle Arena.I felt like every shot I took was a good shot, Thompson said. Its the way I was playing off of my teammates, too. Its easy to get open looks when youre running off Zaza [Pachulia] and Draymond [Green] all night, and I think it started for me when I got a few layups in the beginning. That always opens up my game, and whenever Im active off the ball, thats when Im at my best.Thompson is the first player in the shot-clock era to score 60 points with fewer than 30 minutes played.Thats a feat that Id put money on to probably never be touched ever again in the history of basketball, teammate Stephen Curry said. Its unbelievable.Thompsons 60 points were the most through three quarters since Kobe Bryant scored 62 in a December 2005 game.Thompsons previous career high was 52 points last season against the Kings, a contest in which he produced an NBA-record 37 third-quarter points while sitting out the fourth due to a rout.After Mondays game, he was asked if he begged coach Steve Kerr to put him back in during fourth-quarter play.I didnt, but its just unfortunate the two times I got my career high, I didnt even play in the fourth quarter, Thompson said in jest. We should keep these games closer next time. But its all good.The sharpshooter scored 40 of his points in the first half, the first player with a 40-point first half since Bryant had 42 points against the Washington Wizards on March 28, 2003.Thompson, 26, also was the first player to score 40 points in any half since Chicago Bulls forward Jimmy Butler registered 40 in the second half on Jan. 3, 2016, at Toronto.And to put his night into perspective, Thompson registered the first 60-point game for the franchise since Rick Barry scored 64 points on March 26, 1974, versus the Portland Trail Blazers.Thompson moving without the ball all evening made life miserable for the Pacers.I dont even know what to say, Kevin Durant said. It was crazy because he probably has the ball in his hand for probably not even two minutes in the whole game. He was catching, shooting, cutting.Thompson said that had he been allowed to sub in one more time, 80 points wasnt out of reach.Maybe. I think I could have, Thompson said. Maybe one day Ill have the opportunity, but 60 in 29 minutes is not too bad. Im satisfied with that.Fans chanted Klay, Klay, Klay during moments when there were breaks in the action. When he departed the game, fans gave him a standing ovation.That was a pretty amazing performance, Kerr said. We know hes capable of that. Everybody around here remembers his 37-point quarter, so it always feels like its a possibility [he can go off]. Justin Lawrence Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. Yency Almonte Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. https://www.cheaprockiesjerseys.us/204t-chris-iannetta-jersey-rockies.html . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Steve Reed Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. Garrett Hampson Jersey . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. The Miami Marlins have added to their bullpen again, agreeing to a two-year, $16 million deal with right-hander Brad Ziegler, a source told ESPNs Jim Bowden, confirming a story first reported by Fox Sports.?The moves come on the same day the Marlins officially signed another ex-Boston Red Sox reliever, Junichi Tazawa.?The Red Sox acquired Ziegler in a July 9 trade that sent Single-A pitcher Jose Almonte and Single-A infielder Luis Alejandro Basabe to the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 33 appearances for Boston, Ziegler posted a 1.52 ERA, 31 strikeouts, 11 walks and a career-best 9.4 strikeouts per nine innings.Ziegler, 37, is particularly effective against right-handed hitters because of his dropped-down submarine-style delivery. In 2016, he held righties to a .630 OPS compared to .723 against lefties, which was more or less in line with his career totals (.559 OPS vs. righties, .757 OPS vs. lefties).Ziegler made $5.5 million in 2016, the option year of an original two-year, $10.5 million contract that he signed with Arizona in 2014.Tazawa finalized his $12 million, two-year contract with the Marlins on Friday after passing a physical. The deal came wiith an endorsement from Ichiro Suzuki, the Marlins outfielder and 3,000-hit club member.ddddddddddddWhat was Suzukis scouting report on his fellow native of Japan?That hes a very good pitcher and can help us, president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. He signed off, and that was good to know.Miami swung the deals for the right-handers after falling short in its pursuit of high-priced closers Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen.We know theres competition for players, Hill said. You have a Plan A, but you have a Plan B, C and D to accomplish your goal.A.J. Ramos remains the closer, at least for now, and Tazawa and Ziegler should help compensate for the loss of left-hander Mike Dunn to Colorado in free agency.The Marlins also have acquired starting pitchers Edinson Volquez and Jeff Locke to help compensate for the loss of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boat crash in September. They added A.J. Ellis as their backup catcher. ?ESPN Red Sox reporter Scott Lauber and The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
