13 for 13 FGs
9 for 9 from 3
Record for most was 33 by Iceman and Melo.
Unfortunately, our very own Nik Stauskas is the guy covering Killa Klay many times...

Just curious, but what do you miss about the late 80's and 90's? The 80's part, which was actually higher scoring than this season is, or the 90's era of clutch and grab defense and one on one offensive play?
Scoring averages in the later 80's? 108.2, 109.2, 107. With ORtg's of 108, 107.8, and 108.1. The early 90's saw similar scoring averages and ORtg's, and even when the late 90's scoring averages fell to the mid-90's , the ORtg's were between 105 and 107. 2015 NBA: 100.2 points, 105.8 ORtg.
The NBA is currently experiencing a talent boon, and teams like San Antonio and Atlanta have helped bring back fun and exciting team offensive basketball. It's pretty fun to watch currently, if you know, watch. Sure, teams like Philly and NY stink it up or dont even try, but in general there is some pretty good ball being played.

show how much you've watched NBA. 80s defense consists of no defense. Offense has never been better in the past few years with innovative offensvie spacing and ball movement.

Korver is doing well, doing very well. If he keeps this up, it will be a season for the record books.
Regarding all the big market NBA teams tanking, not so fast, my friend. It is true that the Nets, Knicks, and Lakers are all bad. Very bad. But the Rockets, Clippers, and Bulls are all having decent seasons. That's a team in each of the number 2, 3, & 4 population centers.
The Bulls, in particular, may really be rounding into form. If Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah stay healthy, and Paul Gasol and Jimmy Butler continue to play at the level they've been playing at, they could go deep into the post-season. And that's a team that will generate interest.

Clippers don't really have a history. Rockets and Bulls I'll give you. Warriors finally got out of their 30 year funk in the last 3 years...
Idk if that offsets the Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, Knicks, Nets and Pistons all being meh at best.

I'd have to look up markets and Nielsen share on TV. I was kind of wondering about the Celtics and Sixers. Pistons, not so much. But I'd like to see a map of who watches basketball, and how much, in different markets. The Celtics and Sixers (along with Knicks, Lakers, and Bulls) are all "marquee" teams in terms of history. The Sonics and Suns have been around a long time too, although they don't seem to have the same history of being "marquee" teams.

Klay was simply shooting over whoever was on him. At 6'6" his jumper isn't going to be blocked. I doubt he even paid attention to his defender once he got the ball. That's what being in the zone is all about. The only thing one could have done was to deny him the ball.
