The NBA’s 60-point club

Klay Thompson scored a career-high 60 points in the Warriors’ 142-106 blowout victory over the Pacers at Oracle Arena on Dec. 5, 2016. Although Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry have combined to win five scoring titles, neither Warriors star has registered a 60-point game. Indeed, Thompson joins Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and Cavaliers forward LeBron James as the only active players to score 60 in a game, and he is now just the 23rd player in the NBA's 70-year history to do so.
