On Monday evening, the Dallas Mavericks are playing the Washington Wizards (at home). Klay Thompson erupted for 21 points, two rebounds and two assists while shooting 7/10 from the three-point range in his first ten minutes of playing time.

Few of the roughly 20,000 fans in the arena or those watching on TV will long recall the exact score of Dallas’ 130-108 rout of the Wizards, but they’ll sure remember Thompson pouring in those franchise-record-tying seven first-quarter 3-pointers in 10 attempts.

Klay Thompson drained seven 3-pointers in the first quarter on the way to a game-high 23 points and the Dallas Mavericks handed the visiting Washington Wizards a 14th straight loss with a 130-108 blowout on Monday.

Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu in an All-Star weekend shooting competition in San Francisco’s Chase Center? Sounds great, doesn’t it? The Mavericks’ Thompson agrees, or least with the idea of some version of the above-mentioned competition.
