Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson tie record for three-pointers in a half image

Klay Thompson came into Friday's game against the Mavericks needing two three-pointers to hit 1,000 for his career.

The Warrriors guard hit his two in the first quarter, becoming the second-fastest player to reach that benchmark behind — you guessed it — teammate Stephen Curry.

Once Thompson hit his milestone, he and Curry unleashed a 3-point barrage on the Mavericks. Thompson went 6-of-7 from deep, while Curry went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, including this beauty. 

The Warriors tied their record with 15 three-pointers in a half.
