"You can't just expect to be the same player that you were five years ago," Kerr said. [Friday], I did a good job of leading by example and using my voice."

Watch Klay Thompson make history with 12 3-pointers in Warriors win (NBC Sports)

Klay Thompson set an NBA record Friday with his third game with 12+ 3-pointers, breaking the tie he had with teammate Stephen Curry.

He picked up his four fouls in the first half and then drew his fifth with 6:46 remaining in the third quarter. He had 17 points, 14 assists and five rebounds in 39 minutes before fouling out with 1:49 remaining in the second overtime. Leonard had 21 points in the third quarter, which tied his career high for points scored in a quarter. We were on the second night of a back-to-back but it is what it is. He finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. It is the second time it has happened in an NBA game this season after Cleveland’s The Clippers had a 175-169 advantage with 1:57 remaining before the Kings scored the final seven points, including Fox’s jumper with 36.5 seconds remaining. The last to do it was It is only the second time in the NBA’s 76-year history that both teams have scored at least 170 points. A team has scored 170 points in a regular-season game only seven times. We got down 12 at one point but just had our heads up. There was high-level talent that was on display.
